The All Progressives Congress (APC) has intensified preparations for its national convention scheduled for Friday, 27 and Saturday, 28 March 2026 in Abuja, using the platform to project confidence ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Chairman of the Convention Central Coordination Committee, Aminu Bello Masari, disclosed this while addressing journalists at Eagle Square in Abuja, stating that the party is fully prepared and strategically positioned for victory in 2027.
He commended party members for their mobilisation efforts, noting that the APC’s growing momentum reflects readiness not only for the convention but also for the forthcoming general elections.
“We are ready for the convention, and from what you can see, the party is united and prepared. Challenges are part of life, but they do not deter our focus,” he said.
The Co-chairman of the committee and former Cross River State governor, Ben Ayade, said the APC has demonstrated capacity, organisation, and discipline in the lead-up to the convention.
“As a party, we are really repositioning and reloading to create a new Nigeria that will show clearly that we are clearly focused on returning to government and with a clear agenda to put people first.” Ayade said.

Also speaking, the secretary of the convention environmental and sanitation sub-committees, Senator Uche Ekwunife, expressed optimism about the party’s prospects, declaring that the APC is determined to secure a landslide victory in the next general election.
“We are prepared for the 2027 election when we are going to return our President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and our Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima. We want to let them know that we are not just green, we are ready, we are prepared, we are confident that 2027, APC is going to win landslide, 90% of all the vote cast in Nigeria.” Senator Ekunife emphasised.
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, noted that the convention offers an opportunity for the party to showcase its achievements and reconnect with Nigerians ahead of the polls.
” Kudos to whoever is managing the FCT administration. Of course, the emphasis is on Nigerians, I want everybody to know that just as injury has pain, the healing process too carries pain… the reforms being embarked upon will take time pitch, and I’m happy that we have President Tinubu; someone who is courageous, someone who is dedicated to the progress of this country.
As benefits these reforms begin to crystalise, Nigerians will see clearly why we should return him back. As far as I’m concerned, this convention has offered us the opportunity not only to showcase what the party can do but to render account to teeming populace, ahead of the 2027 election and hopefully we will be there and return the president with resounding success.” Dogara said.
