President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of a new minister to take over responsibilities previously handled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, signaling a fresh shake-up within the ruling party and the Federal Executive Council.
The appointment, announced on Monday through a statement issued by Presidential Spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale, follows the resignation of the APC National Chairman, who stepped down to focus on party affairs ahead of the 2027 general elections. The new appointee is expected to strengthen coordination between the Presidency and the ruling party’s leadership.
According to the statement, the newly appointed minister — whose name was sent to the Senate for confirmation — will oversee critical policy areas previously linked to the outgoing chairman’s portfolio. The decision is part of President Tinubu’s ongoing effort to reposition his cabinet for improved governance and political stability.
“The President remains committed to ensuring efficiency, accountability, and inclusiveness in his administration,” Ngelale said, adding that the appointment underscores Tinubu’s resolve to deliver on his Renewed Hope Agenda.
Political analysts believe the move could influence the internal structure of the APC as the ruling party prepares for future elections. It also reflects Tinubu’s determination to maintain party unity while driving key reforms across federal ministries.
The new minister is expected to be sworn in after Senate confirmation, with an official announcement detailing their portfolio expected in the coming days.
