In a significant move ahead of Nigeria's 2026 elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Pius Anyim and Aminu Masari to lead the committees overseeing the presidential primaries. This decision comes as the party seeks to solidify its strategy and ensure a robust electoral process across the nation’s 8,809 wards.

Pius Anyim, a former Senate President, brings extensive political experience, while Aminu Masari, the outgoing Governor of Katsina State, is expected to leverage his grassroots connections. The choice of these leaders indicates the APC's commitment to a transparent and inclusive primary process. "We are determined to engage party members at all levels and ensure that every voice is heard," Masari stated, highlighting the importance of participation in shaping the party’s future.

As the APC gears up for the primaries, the political landscape remains dynamic, with potential challengers emerging from within and outside the party. This development will not only influence the APC's candidate selection but also set the tone for the 2026 presidential race, as party cohesion and voter engagement become paramount in the lead-up to the polls.
