The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially ratified the zoning of its national chairmanship position to the North-West.
This decision was announced on Wednesday, February 26, by APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, following the NEC meeting.
“The NEC has ratified the zoning of the national chairmanship position to the North-West,” Morka confirmed.
Previously, the chairmanship was zoned to the North-Central, leading to the emergence of Senator Abdullahi Adamu. However, internal crises within the party resulted in the resignation of Adamu and former National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
Following their resignations, former Kano State Governor Dr. Abdulahi Adamu took over as chairman, while Senator Ajibola Basiru assumed the role of National Secretary.
In a move to strengthen the party’s leadership, Morka also announced the constitution of a seven-member committee, chaired by Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni.
“The committee has been tasked with expanding NEC membership and ensuring broader participation in party affairs,” he stated.
This zoning shift is viewed as a strategic effort to consolidate APC’s power base in the North-West while addressing leadership challenges ahead of the next general elections.
