The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared a modification in the location of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting that is set for Thursday, July 24, 2025.
Originally intended to occur at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the meeting will now be held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa at 2:00 p.m.
This alteration was communicated in a statement released on Wednesday by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka. He indicated that the venue change is attributed to logistical considerations.
“The All Progressives Congress APC announces that the meeting of the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) scheduled for Thursday, 24th July, 2025, will now be conducted at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“The venue change from the Party’s National Secretariat – 40 Blantyre Street, Wuse II, Abuja, is due to logistical reasons,” the statement stated.
Ahead of the Thursday NEC meeting, governors affiliated with the APC convened a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.
This meeting was held at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, with Governor Hope Uzodimma, the Chairman of the All Progressive Governors Forum, acting as the host.
Among the governors present at the meeting were Babagana Zulum (Borno), Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), and Monday Okpebholo (Edo).
Additionally, Bassey Otu (Cross River), Nasir Idris (Kebbi), Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara), Usman Ododo (Kogi), and Senator Uba Sani (Kaduna) were also in attendance.
While the agenda for the meeting has not yet been revealed, it is likely related to the selection of a new National Chairman for the party.
His departure has resulted in a considerable void that may influence the party’s structure and readiness for forthcoming by-elections, which include gubernatorial elections in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun states.
Key items on the agenda for the Acting National Chairman, Ali Bukar Dalori, will include the approval of the timetable for congresses and standing committees, along with a progress report on the party’s e-registration initiative throughout the 36 states.
