All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed that it would maintain the current zoning arrangement for National Working Committee (NWC) positions ahead of its March 27 and 28 National Convention.

National Publicity Secretary of APC, Felix Morka, in a statement, emphasised that the existing zoning arrangement for NWC positions remained valid and applicable to the upcoming National Convention.

Morka stated, “As contained in the published All Progressives Congress (APC) 2026 Schedule of Nationwide Congresses, National Convention, and Related Activities, the existing zoning arrangement for National working Committee positions across states within the geo-political zones remains valid and applicable to the upcoming for National Convention 

“Accordingly, aspirants purchasing and submitting Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for national offices ahead of the National Convention are advised to be strictly guided by the existing zoning arrangement.”

Meanwhile, a group, the Prince Simon Ali Support Organisation, bought nomination and expression of interest form for National Chairman of APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

Director-General of the organisation, Mr. Dominic Alancha, told journalists yesterday in Abuja that they decided to obtain the form for Yilwatda following the decision of the party to retain the position of National Chairman in the North-central.

Alancha said they believed Yilwatda had the capacity and the competence to move the party forward and to lead it into the upcoming elections, where victory would be guaranteed.

Alancha said they believed in his ability, and that was why they made that call in January.

He stated, “Today, we are here again to consolidate on our earlier position. We are here to make payment for his form, his Expression of Interest and Nomination Form.

“I am not doing this as an individual. We are doing this under the Prince Simon Ali Support Organization. That is why I felt it was necessary to address you, because you are also part of this family.

“We want to let you know that we did not just stop at calling for the retention of zoning and endorsing the National Chairman for continuity. We have gone a step further to ensure that we purchase his nomination form for him so that he can continue.”
