The party said the exercise would be supervised across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory by designated coordinators and collation officers appointed by the APC leadership.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has drafted a lineup of political heavyweights, including Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and several serving governors, to supervise its 2026 presidential primary election as the party intensifies preparations for the crucial contest.

In guidelines released by the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, the APC confirmed that the presidential primary would be conducted through the direct primary system on May 24, 2026, allowing all registered party members across the country’s 8,809 wards to vote for their preferred aspirant.

The party said the exercise would be supervised across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory by designated coordinators and collation officers appointed by the APC leadership.

Among the prominent figures appointed is Governor Fubara, who was named coordinator and collation officer for Rivers State, coming shortly after his reported withdrawal from the party’s governorship primary on Wednesday.
