Barely hours after the All Progressives Congress (APC) wrote the INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, to inform him of cancelation of its planned national convention, the ruling party has picked March 26 as the new date for its convention.
The party which had told INEC that it would hold its zonal congresses on March 26,however, reversed the decision and announced a new timetable and schedule of activities for the congresses and convention.
Announcing the new development to newsmen after the closed-door meeting, National Secretary of the party, John James Akpanudoedehe, said the preparation for the national convention will commence on 24 of March, 2022, while the zonal congresses will hold before the national convention slated for 26 of March, 2022.
“After deliberation and agreement with the CECPC, we have agreed and approved that the activities of the National Convention will commence from Feb. 24 and terminate on March 26, at Eagle Square with the National Convention.
“In between the convention, we have agreed to have zonal congresses,” the APC scribe said.
He also announced the release of timetables and schedule of activities for the party’s zonal congresses across the 6 geopolitical zones of the country, in “pursuant to Article 12.6 of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Constitution.”
