The All Progressives Congress has stepped up preparations for its South-West Zonal Congress, scheduled to hold on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos.
In a joint statement, the South-West Zonal Chairman, Isaacs
Kekemeke, alongside Zonal Secretary Vincent Bewaji and Zonal Organising
Secretary Lateef Ibirogba, urged all accredited delegates to arrive promptly
and comply strictly with the guidelines for the exercise.
According to the party leadership, the congress, scheduled
to begin at 9:00 a.m., is part of a broader nationwide internal restructuring
approved by the party’s national leadership, aimed at strengthening its
structures ahead of the national convention and future elections.
They explained that the gathering will provide an
opportunity to assess the party’s performance in the South-West, enhance unity
among stakeholders, and reposition the APC for improved electoral outcomes.
The zonal leadership also outlined the categories of
statutory delegates expected at the event in line with Article 12.7 of the
party’s constitution.
These include the zonal chairman and former holders of the
office, members of the zonal executive committee, serving and past governors
from the region, as well as current and former members of the National
Assembly.
Others expected are serving and former principal officers of
state Houses of Assembly, state party chairmen, members of the National
Executive Committee, NEC, National Caucus members, and other statutory
delegates to the national convention.
The party assured that adequate security and logistical
arrangements have been put in place to manage the expected turnout of delegates
and stakeholders, noting that coordination with relevant authorities is ongoing
to ensure a smooth and orderly process.
The leadership further stressed that the wide representation
of delegates emphasizes the importance of the congress as a convergence point
for key political actors, grassroots mobilisers, and institutional stakeholders
across the region.
The South-West zone, comprising Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun,
Ondo, and Ekiti states, remains a strategic stronghold for the ruling party.
The congress is expected to play a crucial role in
reinforcing leadership structures, strengthening alliances, and promoting unity
within the region ahead of future political contests.
