JUST IN: APC holds first NWC meeting of 2026 as e-registration tops agenda
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday held its first meeting of 2026, with deliberations centring on the party’s ongoing nationwide electronic membership registration and proposed amendments to its constitution.
The meeting, the 182nd sitting of the APC’s highest administrative organ, was presidened over by the party’s national chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.
APC national secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru said the committee reviewed the progress of the e-registration exercise currently being rolled out across states.
He said the process is aimed at “sanitising its membership database, eliminating duplication, and strengthening internal party structures ahead of future electoral cycles.”
The APC recently launched the e-registration initiative as part of broader reforms to modernise its operations, improve transparency, and give party members digital access to registration and verification.
Party officials say the exercise is expected to play a critical role in internal democracy, particularly in the conduct of congresses, primaries, and other decision-making processes, as the APC seeks to avoid internal crises that have previously plagued party activities.
In addition to the e-registration update, the NWC also deliberated on proposed amendments to the APC constitution, a process insiders describe as central to redefining party rules, leadership structures, and disciplinary procedures.
The constitution review is seen as part of efforts to align the party’s internal framework with evolving political realities, address grey areas exposed during recent primaries, and strengthen the authority of party organs.
Further details of the resolutions reached at the meeting are expected to be communicated to party members and the public in the coming days.
