The North-Central APC Forum has called on President Bola Tinubu to ensure that credible candidates are elected as national officers during the upcoming APC national convention.
As the All Progressives Congress (APC) gears up for its national convention scheduled for March 27-28, 2026, the North-Central APC Forum has raised a clarion call to President Bola Tinubu. They are urging him to implement a vetting process for candidates vying for national officer positions to ensure that only credible individuals with the requisite experience and track record are selected to form the National Working Committee (NWC). This committee is pivotal for the party's leadership, and the members will play significant roles in shaping its future direction.
Chairman Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga emphasized the importance of thorough consultations leading up to the convention to identify and nominate distinguished candidates. The forum is particularly focused on the election of a national chairman, stressing that this leader should embody the attributes of a statesman. Their statement underscores the collective aspiration for the APC to select leaders who are not just seasoned but also deeply committed to the party’s ideals and its goals for Nigeria's progress.
With political dynamics constantly shifting in Nigeria, the call from the North-Central APC Forum reflects a broader concern within the party regarding leadership quality and effectiveness. If President Tinubu heeds this call to action, it could influence the internal politics of the APC and shape the party's strategies going into upcoming elections. Ensuring a credible leadership cadre may also help solidify the party's standing with the electorate as Nigeria navigates various socio-economic challenges ahead.
