The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced a change in the venue of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2025.
The meeting will now take place at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa at 2:00 p.m., instead of the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
According to a statement issued by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, the change of venue is due to logistical reasons.
The statement read, “The All Progressives Congress APC announces that the meeting of the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) scheduled to be held on Thursday, 24th July, 2025, will now take place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
”The change of venue from the Party’s National Secretariat – 40 Blantyre Street, Wuse II, Abuja, is due to logistical reasons.”
Ahead of the Thursday NEC meeting, governors elected under the APC held a closed-door meeting in Abuja.
The meeting took place at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, with Governor Hope Uzodimma, the Chairman of the All Progressive Governors Forum, serving as the host.
Several governors who were at the meeting, include Governors Babagana Zulum (Borno), Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), and Monday Okpebholo (Edo), among others.
Although the agenda of the meeting was yet to be disclosed, it is speculated that the meeting might be connected to the selection of a new National Chairman for the party.
Former APC Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, stepped down from the position in June, citing the need to take a break from active politics to address personal health issues.
His exit has created a significant vacuum that could affect the party’s organisation and preparedness for upcoming by-elections, including gubernatorial polls in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun states.
Among the top agenda items for the Acting National Chairman, Ali Bukar Dalori, will be the ratification of the schedule for congresses and standing committees, as well as an update on the party’s e-registration process across the 36 states.
The NEC meeting is expected to provide a platform for the party’s leadership to discuss key issues affecting the party and chart a way forward.
