By Jeffrey Agbo
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed former Katsina State governor, Aminu Masari, as chairman of the National Convention Central Coordination Committee, replacing Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
The change comes ahead of the ruling party’s national convention scheduled for March 27 and 28, 2026.
The development was announced in a statement signed by the APC National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, and published 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 earlier named chairman of the committee, has now been reassigned as treasurer following a fresh reconstitution approved by the party leadership.
The party also expanded the membership of the committee from 73 to 90, bringing in additional chieftains, including Senator Barry Mpigi and other senior party 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.
