President Muhammadu Buhari has approved February 2022 for the conduct of the national convention of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum also the Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, announced this on Monday in Abuja.
Briefing newsmen after a meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa in the nation’s capital, Bagudu, asserted that the party’s leadership is yet to decide on a specific date to conduct its national convention. The governor said the party would notify the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, while it works out a timetable.
Governor Bagudu was accompanied to the villa by the Chairman of the APC National Caretaker Committee and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as well as Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State. It will be recalled that Governor Buni took over the APC leadership in June 2020 following the dissolution of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, led by former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole.
