APC fixes LG congresses for September

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has picked September for its local government area congresses in the build-up to its national convention.

This was made public in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the National Secretary of the party’s Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe.

He also dismissed reports that the ruling party had suspended the scheduled congresses.

The APC scribe said, “Reports in some sections of the media that the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has indefinitely suspended Local Government Area (LGA) and State Congresses is false.

“Following the recent inauguration of Ward Congress Appeal Committees, the official information from the party was that dates and guidelines for the LGA Congresses will be fixed after the conclusion of the Ward Congresses Appeal excercise followed by due consideration of the Appeal Committee’s reports by the CECPC.

“The CECPC has tentatively fixed LGA Congresses for the first week of September, 2021.

“On behalf of the CECPC Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni, we assure our teeming party supporters, members and leaders of our unflinching commitment to credible, transparent and participatory congresses leading to the National Convention of our great party.”
