After months of uncertainty and keeping members guessing about the possibility of keeping to date or expecting another shift, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that it will hold its national convention on February 26.
The notification was contained in a letter written to INEC by Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC of the APC.
The letter was delivered Thursday morning at the headquarters of the electoral body.
In the letter dated February 2 and jointly signed by Governor Mai Mala Buni and the Secretary, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, the party said it would go ahead with its national convention on the said day.
It read in part; “Follow up to our letter referenced APC/NHDQ/INEC/19/021/40 dated 11 July 2021 on the NOTICE FOR THE CONDUCT OF NATIONAL CONVENTION.
“This is to inform the Commission that our great Party has scheduled to hold its National Convention on Saturday, 26% February 2022.
