The event, which took place on Friday midnight, was marked by heightened tensions due to protests sparked by the emergence of these new members.
The responsibility of administering the oath fell upon Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR, the national chairman of the APC.
The individuals who were sworn in include Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, assuming the role of deputy national chairman (North); Hon. Garba Datti Muhammad, who takes on the position of National Vice Chairman for the North West region; and Prof. Abdul Karim Abubakar Kana, now serving as the National Legal Adviser.
Among the new appointments, Hon. Donatus Nwankpa has been entrusted with the position of National Welfare Secretary, while Mary Alile Idele has taken on the vital role of National Women Leader. Lastly, Duro Meseko assumes the responsibilities of Deputy National Publicity Secretary.
The inauguration was conducted in the midst of demonstrations that had erupted in response to the selection of these new NWC members. Despite the contentious circumstances, the APC proceeded with the installation of its newly appointed committee, marking a significant development within the party’s leadership structure.
