AFRICA (NPA) — 26 March 2026 — The Minister of Communications and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, briefed the media in Abuja today regarding the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention, scheduled to take place in Nigeria’s capital from Friday through Sunday at Eagle Square, Abuja.

According to the minister, the APC—one of the largest political parties in the world—is preparing for its 8th National Convention, which will officially be held on Saturday. He described the event as a significant moment for the party and the country.

Delegates from all 36 states of the federation, along with representatives from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), are expected to attend.

Idris stated that the convention will serve as a platform for policy engagement and a formal transition to the newly elected party executives. He described it as a moment of reflection and consolidation for the APC.

“The APC remains committed to unity in progress, consolidating the Renewed Hope agenda of the present administration,” Idris said. “It will be a concise statement of who we are, where we have come from, and where we are going—projecting continuity and clarity of purpose.”

He added that from its inception, the APC has been a platform for reform, providing a compass to guide the party’s actions and decisions. The convention, he said, offers an opportunity to highlight the party’s achievements under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He added that the Renewed Hope agenda guides the party’s policy directions and deepens it’s commitment to ensuring that government and the people are in sync to maintain unity of purpose.
