The All Progressives Congress has appointed former Katsina State governor, Aminu Bello Masari, as Chairman of the National Convention Central Coordination Committee, replacing Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as preparations continue for the party’s national convention scheduled for late March 2026.
The decision was conveyed in a statement issued by the party’s National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and made public through the APC’s official social media platform. The party said the committee was reconstituted after consultations with its leadership and national stakeholders.
Following the adjustment, Uzodimma has been reassigned to serve as treasurer of the committee. The party leadership also increased the size of the committee from 73 to 90 members, bringing in more party leaders, including Senator Barry Mpigi and other senior figures.
Under the new 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, was appointed Vice Chairman II. Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, retained his position as Secretary of the committee.
The changes were announced only days after Uzodimma was earlier presented as chairman of the committee, as the party steps up arrangements for the convention that will lead to the selection of new members of its National Working Committee.
