The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nnetawe Yilwatda, emphatically stated that no governor or individual exerts control over the ruling party, emphasising that authority resides solely in its national structure.
Speaking on the ‘SunseT’ programme on Jay FM in Jos, Plateau State, Yilwatda explained that state-level decisions are meticulously planned and guided by the national leadership, in strict adherence to the party’s organisational framework.

“Across the country, no one can take over any section of the party. Whatever is done at the state level is planned at the national level. That is how the APC works. We follow structure, not sentiments or emotions,” he asserted.
He stressed that neither governors, senators, local government chairmen, nor even the national chairman himself holds absolute power.

To avert internal crises, the APC deliberately eschewed establishing a Board of Trustees, declaring that “the people are the trustees of the APC.”
Unlike other parties dominated by a few individuals, Yilwatda noted, the APC avoids such concentration of influence.
“As national chairman, there is no Board of Trustees supervising me; I supervise myself,” he added.
