JUST IN: APC Set For Major Leadership Crisis As Factional National Chairman Hafsatu Danladi Seeks Derecognition Of Nentawe Yilwatda-Led NWC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is on the brink of a fresh leadership crisis following a move by factional National Chairman, Hafsatu Danladi, to seek the derecognition of the Nentawe Yilwatda-led National Working Committee (NWC).
In a press statement released on Wednesday, Danladi challenged the legitimacy of the party’s current leadership and announced plans to seek legal redress.
Danladi stated that she would approach the Federal High Court in Abuja to contest what she described as an “illegitimate structure” currently managing the party’s affairs.
According to her, the move is aimed at restoring due process and protecting the integrity of the APC, which has in recent times faced internal disagreements over leadership and direction.
“I hereby assert my position as the true and authentic Chairperson of the APC,” she declared in the statement, insisting that her claim is grounded in legality.

As part of the legal action, Danladi revealed that she would also seek a court order compelling the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw recognition from the party’s current National Working Committee.
She specifically named the NWC led by Nentawe Yilwatda as lacking legitimacy, arguing that allowing the leadership to continue would undermine democratic principles within the party.
“This step is necessary to uphold the rule of law and ensure that due process is followed,” she added.
