APC REPLACES UZODIMMA WITH MASARI AS CONVENTION COMMITTEE CHAIR


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 March 27–28, 2026 convention.

This was confirmed in a statement signed by the APC National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and posted on the party’s official X page on Friday.

“In further consultation with the leadership and national stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Central Coordination Committee for the 2020 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 previously appointed chairman of the committee, has now been reassigned as treasurer following the fresh reconstitution approved by the party leadership.

The committee’s membership was also expanded from 73 to 90 members, bringing in additional senior party figures, including Senator Barry Mpigi.

Under the revised structure:

Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim was named Vice Chairman I

Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, will serve as Vice Chairman II

Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, remains Secretary of the committee

The reconstitution comes just days after Uzodimma was initially unveiled as chairman of the 73-member committee, signalling intensified preparations for the convention, which will culminate in the election of new members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
