Ahead of its 2026 National Convention, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has removed Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as chairman of its Convention Planning Committee and replaced him with former Katsina State governor, Aminu Bello Masari.
Uzodimma has been reassigned to serve as treasurer following the reconstitution of the party’s National Convention Central Coordination Committee.
The APC also expanded the committee’s membership from 73 to 90 members to accommodate more stakeholders and party leaders.
Among the newly included members are Senator Barry Mpigi and other prominent APC figures. Party officials said the restructuring reflects zoning arrangements and strategic political considerations as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Although no official reason was provided for the changes, political observers believe the move is part of ongoing internal realignments within the party.
