The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed March 26 for
its national convention.
The development comes weeks after the party announced that
the national convention would hold on February 26.
Speaking on Monday at a media briefing in Abuja, John
Akpanudoedehe, national secretary of the APC caretaker committee, said zonal
congresses would now be held on March 12.
The zonal congresses would be held alongside preparations
for the party’s convention.
“After deliberations
and agreement with the national caretaker committee, we have agreed and
approved that the activities of the national convention commence from the 24th
of February and terminate on the 26th of March,” Akpanudoedehe said.
“The convention activities will commence on February 24 and
terminate at Eagle Square on 26th of March. In between the convention, we have
agreed to have zonal congresses.”
The development comes days after Hope Uzodimma, governor of
Imo, had said although there were no plans by the APC to postpone the
convention, the date wasn’t sacrosanct.
“That is the decision
of the party and there is nothing wrong even if it doesn’t hold. What is
important is that we must have our convention,” he had said.
“We have said it’s 26th. If for any reason tomorrow, it’s
not doable in the opinion of the party, we will move. But that does not mean
that there is any intention to move.”
