The All Progressives Congress, APC, has released a time table for its National Convention and Congresses.
According to the timetable released by the Party’s National Organising Secretary, Osita Izunaso, the national Convention will hold on May 14, 2018.
The Ward Congresses have been scheduled for May 2 while the local government congresses hold on May 5.
The State Congresses will hold on May 9.
The party had earlier written the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, seeking its presence during the said events.
In the letter signed by its scribe, Mai Mala Buni, APC said the convention and congresses have become necessary.
According to him, the convention will “fill vacant offices arising from effusion (sic) of time or appointments into government offices, death and other reasons as stipulated in Article 17 of our party constitution”.
The party also informed the electoral body of its decision to conduct “special local government congresses” to elect delegates for its national convention.
Recall that since its last convention in 2014, APC has failed to hold its national convention, an event constitutionally fixed for every two years.
