APC Heavyweights Converge in Abuja: Tinubu, Shettima, Osinbajo, and Fubara Unite for Caucus Meeting

In a show of unity and strength, top chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gathered in Abuja for a crucial caucus meeting at the State House Conference Center. The meeting, presided over by President Bola Tinubu, brought together prominent figures, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, among others.

The meeting, which underscored the party's growing political consolidation, was attended by an array of senior party members, including National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas. The presence of former PDP governors, such as Douye Diri of Bayelsa, Peter Mbah of Enugu, and Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, signaled a widening political realignment within the ruling party.

According to reports, the meeting focused on the party's strategy and preparations for upcoming elections, including the Federal Capital Territory area council elections scheduled for February 21, 2026. The APC chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, announced that the party had introduced an electronic membership registration system, aimed at improving transparency and internal democracy ahead of the party's national convention.

The caucus meeting also saw the attendance of several governors, including Monday Okpebholo of Edo, Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe, and Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo, among others. The presence of these leaders highlights the party's commitment to unity and its determination to maintain its hold on power.

The APC has been experiencing a surge in defections from other parties, with several prominent politicians joining the ruling party in recent weeks. This development is seen as a boost to the party's chances in the upcoming elections.

As the APC continues to strengthen its ranks, the caucus meeting serves as a testament to the party's resolve to maintain its position as Nigeria's ruling party.
