The All Progressives Congress (APC) has replaced Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma with former Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari as Chairman of the National Convention Central Coordination Committee ahead of the party’s national convention scheduled for March 27 and 28, 2026.
The development was announced in a statement signed by APC National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and posted on the party’s official X page on Friday.
According to the statement, the party leadership approved a reconstitution of the committee following further consultations with national stakeholders.
“In further consultation with the leadership and national stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Central Coordination Committee for the 2026 National Convention has been reconstituted. Sub-committees of the Central Coordination Committee will be constituted and announced in due course,” the statement said.
Governor Uzodimma, who was previously named chairman of the committee, has been reassigned as Treasurer under the new arrangement.
The APC also expanded the committee’s membership from 73 to 90, bringing in additional party chieftains, including Senator Barry Mpigi and other senior figures.
Under the revised structure, former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim was appointed Vice Chairman I, while Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, will serve as Vice Chairman II.
Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni was retained as Secretary of the committee.
The reshuffle comes just days after the party unveiled Uzodimma as chairman of the 73-member committee, a move that had signalled intensified preparations for the convention, which is expected to culminate in the election of new members of the party’s National Working Committee.
