The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nentawe Yilwatda, on Thursday hosted football legend, Nwankwo Kanu in Abuja.
Yilwatda welcomed the Kanu in a meeting that bridged the worlds of politics, sports, and business.
The visit featured engaging discussions on how to harmonize and enhance the interplay between these three key facets of society politics, sports, and business for greater national benefit.
