The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has inaugurated Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other members of the party’s 2026 National Convention Central Coordination Committee.
APC in a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday confirmed that the ceremony took place at its National Secretariat in Abuja, marking a significant step in preparations for the forthcoming national convention.
The 73-member committee is chaired by former Katsina State governor and ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Bello Masari.
The panel has been mandated to oversee, streamline and harmonise all activities leading to the successful organisation and conduct of the APC’s 2026 National Convention.
According to party officials, the inauguration underscores the leadership’s commitment to ensuring a well-coordinated and transparent convention process.
