The All Progressives Congress (APC) has come to the defense of Nuhu Yilwatda, recently appointed as Humanitarian Affairs Minister, amidst criticism over his alleged ties to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Opposition parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have accused Yilwatda of bias due to his past associations with INEC officials, raising concerns about his impartiality in his new role. The APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated, asserting that Yilwatda's credentials and track record qualify him for the position. The controversy has sparked debates about the integrity of political appointments in Nigeria, especially ahead of future elections.
