President Bola Tinubu on Thursday hosts a national caucus meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, bringing together key leaders of the ruling party.
Gatekeepers News reports that expected at the meeting are Vice President Kashim Shettima, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, APC governors, serving and former principal officers of the National Assembly, former governors, and members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
The APC National Caucus meeting traditionally precedes the National Executive Council (NEC) session and is regarded as a top decision-making forum within the party.
Party insiders described Thursday’s meeting as strategic and consultative, aimed at strengthening internal cohesion and charting directions for upcoming political engagements.
Participants are expected to deliberate on issues bordering on internal coordination, organisational priorities and the alignment of party stakeholders across the federation.
While discussions are expected to cover a broad range of party matters, the meeting also brings together current and former top office holders, including Osinbajo, for renewed national alignment following the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Party sources said the caucus meeting is viewed as a stabilising platform, designed to deepen collaboration and unity among senior figures in the ruling party.
They added that contributions from key functionaries of the Buhari–Osinbajo administration are expected to play a crucial role in bridging differences and promoting consensus among party leaders ahead of 2026, when party primaries for the 2027 general elections are expected to hold.
The National Caucus, which comprises both serving and former party leaders, remains a critical forum for reviewing strategies, reinforcing party discipline and guiding decision-making at the highest level.
Political analysts say Thursday’s gathering underscores the APC’s resolve to consolidate its leadership structure and maintain cohesion as the party prepares for future electoral cycles.
