Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) appoints Pius Anyim and Aminu Masari to lead its 2026 presidential primary election committees. The party names Anyim, a former Senate President, as chairman of a Presidential Primary Election Committee, and Masari as another key committee head. Reports describe the Presidential Primary Election Committee as a seven-member body, with both figures tasked with steering preparations for the party’s presidential primary process.
Across the party’s outlined voting arrangements, the APC states that the primary election will be conducted in all 8,809 wards nationwide. The appointments are presented as part of the APC’s internal electoral timetable ahead of the 2026 presidential contest. With the committees in place, the APC moves to manage logistics and procedures for delegates and party structures involved in the ward-level voting.
The sources provide the names and roles of the committee leaders and confirm the nationwide ward coverage of the voting process, without detailing additional membership, timelines, or nomination criteria beyond the establishment of the committees.
