The newly appointed National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yiltwada, has pledged to work towards uniting the party in line with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu administration.
Recall that the National Executive Committee, NEC, during its meeting on Thursday at the presidential villa had appointed Mr Yiltwada to replace Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who resigned on June 27.
