All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, says no state Governor exercises any form of control over the ruling party.
The APC national chairman said governors do not have ultimate control over the party, as decisions are often made at the national level.
Yiwaltda said this while featuring on @ Sunset programme, on Jay FM, Jos, Plateau State.
The APC national chairman said, “Across the country, nobody can take any section of the party. For anything you are going to do at the state level, it is planned at the National level. It is not planned at the state level. This is the APC structure and that is how we work.
“We work with structure. We don’t work with sentiments and emotions. Nobody has control over the party, even myself. No local government chairman has control over APC. No governor has control over APC. No senator or individual has control over APC.“
Yiwaltda added that to avoid unnecessary crisis, the party avoided having a board of trustees.
He emphasised that “that was why APC doesn’t have a board of trustees. APC is owned by the people. People are the trustees of APC. Unlike other political parties where you have some people controlling and having structures of the party in their hands. As a party chairman, there is no board of trustees supervising me. I supervise myself.”
