how to get parent navigation controller

In my AppDelegate, I have a main NavigationController that is a "drawer controller" from a third party framework. In there, I have some more controllers, and in my pageTabBarController I a PostsViewController for each page, and that PostsViewController contains a tableview. My goal is to navigate the user to a new controller when he taps a cell in that tableview.

Check out the AppDelegate.swift setup:

var viewControllers = [NavigationController]()

for name in categories {
    let navTmp = NavigationController(rootViewController: 
    PostsViewController(category: name))
    navTmp.navigationBar.isHidden = true
    viewControllers.append(navTmp)
}

let pageTabBarController = AppPageTabBarController(viewControllers: viewControllers)

let toolbarController = AppToolbarController(rootViewController: pageTabBarController)
let menuMainController = MenuViewController()
let drawerController = AppNavigationDrawerController(rootViewController: toolbarController, leftViewController: menuMainController)

window = UIWindow(frame: Screen.bounds)
window!.rootViewController = drawerController
window!.makeKeyAndVisible()

I believe that I will need the parent navigation controller to do this. Bear with me, I am new to swift. But again, my goal is to navigate the user to a new controller when he taps a cell.

Edit: Looking back at this, it looks like I need to make that controller class embedded in a navigation controller, and hook one up to each PostsViewController

Seems you're using CosmicMind's Material. So you have to put your code which navigating the view controller in the tableView delegate in a specific UIViewController class, not inside the AppDelegate.
