The All Progressives Congress (APC) has given reason for scheduling its National Convention for Saturday, June 23, 2018.
The decision it is learnt followed the Party’s approval of a request by the National Convention Committee chaired by the Governor of Jigawa State, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.
Before now, the APC had settled for June 2 for its National Convention as contained in a notice to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) but many stakeholders pushed for the new date in view of the ongoing Ramadan fast which will be concluded before June 23.
In a terse statement by the Party via its official twitter handle, @OfficialAPCNg on Thursday night, the National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi said that “inauguration of new Party executives will subsequently hold on Monday, June 25, 2018”.
