The All Progressives Congress (APC) has made a significant leadership adjustment in preparations for its 2026 national convention, replacing Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma with former Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari as chairman of the National Convention Central Coordination Committee.
This change came just days after Uzodimma was initially appointed to head the 73-member committee tasked with overseeing the planning and coordination of the party's nationwide congresses and the national convention scheduled for March 27 and 28, 2026. In the latest reconstitution, announced through a statement by APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru, Uzodimma has been reassigned to the role of treasurer.
The party has also expanded the committee's membership from 73 to 90, bringing in additional prominent figures, including Senator Barry Mpigi and other senior party stakeholders. The move follows further consultations with the APC's leadership and key national figures, aimed at strengthening the organizational framework for the event, which is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the party's direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While the APC has not provided an official explanation for the swift reshuffle, insiders suggest it reflects a strategic effort to refine the committee's composition and ensure smoother preparations. Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim has been named Vice Chairman I, with Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq serving as Vice Chairman II, and Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni retaining his position as secretary.
