A crucial meeting is underway in Abuja between the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the party’s governors. The closed-door gathering comes as the ruling party intensifies consultations ahead of its national convention scheduled for March. Last year, the APC unveiled a detailed timetable for its 2026 nationwide ward, local government, state, and zonal congresses, which will culminate in the party’s national convention.
The meeting, held at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, is attended by key party stakeholders, including the Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma, who is also the Governor of Imo State, and the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu. Other governors in attendance include Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, Uba Sani of Kaduna State, Mohammed Idris of Kebbi State, Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State, and Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto State.
Additional governors present at the meeting are Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State, Hyacinth Alia of Benue State, Agbu Kefas of Taraba State, Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State, and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, among others. The meeting’s agenda and discussions are currently unknown, but the gathering is likely focused on the party’s preparations for the upcoming national convention and the 2026 general elections.
The APC’s national convention is a critical event that will shape the party’s future, including the selection of its candidates for various positions. As the ruling party, the APC’s internal dynamics and decision-making processes are closely watched by political observers and stakeholders. The party’s ability to manage its internal affairs and present a united front will be crucial in the lead-up to the 2026 elections.
As the meeting continues, details of the discussions and any decisions reached are expected to emerge. The APC’s leadership and governors will likely provide updates on the party’s preparations for the national convention and the general elections. The outcome of this meeting will be significant, as it will set the tone for the party’s activities in the coming months.
