The national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for Saturday February 26, 2022, has been postponed indefinitely.
It said the postponement is to enable the party conduct its zonal congresses in line with APC constitution.
This was contained in a letter by the party to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday.
The party also informed the electoral commission of the intention to conduct its zonal congress on March 26, 2022.
APC, in the letter signed by the Chairman, APC Caretaker Committee, Mai Mala Buni; and the Secretary, John Akpanudoedehe, the party said the earlier convention slated for February 26, 2022, may no longer hold.
In the letter dated February 21, 2022 marked APC/NHDQ/INEC/019/22/21, the party said it had to hold a zonal congress first in compliance with its constitution.
The letter titled, ‘Notice for the Conduct of Zonal Congress’ read in part, “This notice supersedes our earlier notice for a national convention referenced APC/NHDQ/INEC/019/22/14. This is predicated on the evaluation of our party constitution.”
The APC has been postponing its national convention since December 2020.
