Leaders of the All Progressives Congress have started arriving at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja for the National Executive Committee meeting scheduled for 11 am on Wednesday.
As early as 8:30 am, members of the National Working Committee, the Forum of State Chairmen, and key party stakeholders were seen arriving at the heavily secured venue. A combined team of armed security personnel has cordoned off Blantyre Street, where the APC National Secretariat is located, restricting both vehicular and pedestrian movement around the area.
Security operatives have set up barricades at strategic points, allowing only accredited NEC members, party officials, and invited guests to access the premises. Among the early arrivals for the crucial meeting are APC National Working Committee members, the forum of APC State Chairmen, former Zamfara State Governor Sen. Abdulaziz Yari, Minister of Budget and National Planning Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Benjamin Kalu.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas are all expected to attend the meeting.
While the official agenda for the NEC meeting has not been disclosed, there are indications that discussions will focus on several key issues, including the review of party policies and strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections, assessment of ongoing political realignments, strengthening party cohesion amid recent internal disputes, and evaluating President Tinubu’s administration and economic policies.
The meeting follows Tuesday’s APC National Caucus gathering at the State House, Abuja, where key party figures reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening internal democracy and governance.
