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 27–28, 2026 convention.
The development was announced on Friday in a statement signed by the APC National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and posted on the party’s official X account.
“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. Sub-committees of the Central Coordination Committee will be constituted and announced in due course,” the statement read.
Uzodimma, who had initially been appointed chairman of the committee, has now been reassigned as treasurer under the new structure. The committee’s membership was also expanded from 73 to 90, adding senior party figures, including Senator Barry Mpigi.
Under the revised committee, former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim was named 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 retains his position as Secretary.
The reconstitution comes just days after Uzodimma’s initial appointment, reflecting the party’s ongoing preparations for the convention, which will culminate in the election of new members of the APC National Working Committee.
