The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reshuffled the leadership of its Central Coordination Committee for the 2026 National Convention, effecting changes to both the chairmanship and key positions within the body.
Former Katsina State Governor and one-time Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Masari, has been named Chairman of the committee, replacing Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, who was earlier pencilled down for the role.
Under the new arrangement, former Senate President Pius Anyim will serve as vice chairman I, while Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has been appointed vice chairman II.
Yobe State Governor Mai Buni will act as secretary, with Governor Uzodimma, who also chairs the Progressive Governors Forum, reassigned as Treasurer.
The APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, announced the reconstitution on Friday, explaining that the changes followed extensive consultations with the party’s leadership and other national stakeholders.
He added that various sub-committees to drive specific aspects of the convention would be constituted and unveiled in due course.
“Sub-committees of the Central Coordination Committee will be constituted and announced in due course,” he said.
According to Mr Basiru, the committee draws its membership from across the party’s political spectrum. It includes all 27 serving APC governors, as well as former national chairmen of the party, Bisi Akande, Adams Oshiomhole, Abdullahi Adamu, and Abdullahi Ganduje.
