<p>In a statement, Felix Morka, national publicity secretary of the APC, said the arrangement is contained in the party’s published schedule of nationwide congresses, national convention, and related activities for 2026.</p>
<p>He said the zoning formula for NWC positions across states within the geopolitical zones remains valid for the convention.</p>
<p>Morka advised aspirants seeking national offices in the party to adhere strictly to the zoning arrangement.</p>
<p>In furtherance of this decision, both Yilwatda and Basiru were returned unopposed for the national chairman and secretary positions, respectively.</p>
<p>The convention, themed “Unity in progres: Consolidating the renewed hope agenda,” was attended by President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house of representatives, among other party chieftains.</p>
<p>The convention was organised by a planning committee led by Aminu Masari, former governor of Katsina, and Anyim Pius Anyim, former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).</p>
<p>According to Mohammed Idris, minister of information and national orientation, about 8,453 delegates are participating in the convention.</p>
