APC Leadership, Governors to Meet Buhari over Convention

Published

on

The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and governors elected on the party’s platform will hold a crucial meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari to decide when the long-delayed national convention will be held.

THISDAY gathered that the meeting with President Buhari, which is to take place immediately after the Sallah festivities in early September, will also have the APC’s National Assembly caucus in attendance.

The non-elective convention is considered very significant because it will be first time the ruling party will be holding at the highest level since it took over power from PDP.

A source from the presidency, who informed THISDAY about the planned meeting, said the APC leaders has sought for a discussion with the president shortly after his return from medical leave in the United Kingdom but that President Buhari thought it would better to first receive them along with the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
