The All Progressives Congress (APC) has replaced Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, with former Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, as Chairman of the party’s National Convention Central Coordination Committee ahead of its March 27 and 28, 2026 national convention.

The decision was announced in a statement signed by the APC National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and posted on the party’s official X (formerly Twitter) page on Friday.

According to the statement, the committee was reconstituted following further consultations with the party’s leadership and national stakeholders.

“In further consultation with the leadership and national stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Central Coordination Committee for the National Convention has been reconstituted. Sub-committees of the Central Coordination Committee will be constituted and announced in due course,” the statement read.

Uzodimma, who was earlier unveiled as chairman of the committee, has now been reassigned as Treasurer following the reconstitution approved by the party leadership.

The APC also expanded the membership of the committee 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 named 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 changes come just days after the party initially announced Uzodimma as chairman of the committee, signalling intensified preparations for the convention, which is expected to culminate in the election of new members of the APC National Working Committee.
