The All Progressives Congress (APC) has named former Katsina State governor, Aminu Bello Masari, as the new Chairman of its National Convention Central Coordination Committee, replacing Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
Naija News reports that the change was announced in a statement signed by the party’s National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and posted on APC’s official 𝕏 handle on Friday.
“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,” the statement read.
Governor Uzodimma, who was earlier announced as the committee chair, has now been reassigned as Treasurer, following the fresh reconstitution approved by the APC leadership.
The reorganisation also saw the membership of the committee expanded from 73 to 90, with the inclusion of prominent party stakeholders, including Senator Barry Mpigi and other senior figures.
Under the revised structure, former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim has been appointed as Vice Chairman I, while Kwara State Governor and Nigeria Governors’ Forum Chairman, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, will serve as Vice Chairman II.
Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, was retained as Secretary of the convention committee.
“Sub-committees of the Central Coordination Committee will be constituted and announced in due course,” Basiru added.
The shake-up comes just days after Uzodimma was initially named chair of the 73-member planning committee, signalling preparations for the party’s March 27–28 convention, where new members of the National Working Committee (NWC) are expected to emerge.
