APC Shifts Crucial NEC Meeting to Presidential Villa

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rescheduled the venue and time of its upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting slated for Thursday, July 24, 2025.

Originally planned to take place at the party’s national secretariat in Wuse II, Abuja, the meeting will now be held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa by 2 p.m. This change was confirmed in a statement issued on Wednesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.

According to Morka, the relocation was necessitated by logistical considerations.

The NEC meeting is expected to be a decisive one, as party leaders deliberate on naming a successor to the former National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, who stepped down in June citing health concerns. However, political observers believe his resignation was influenced by internal party dynamics and strategic realignments.

There is speculation that the current acting chairman, Ali Bukar Dalori, may continue in the interim until a formal convention is convened to elect new leadership.

Other key issues on the NEC agenda include updates from the party’s Constitution Review Committee and progress on the nationwide electronic registration initiative, all in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
