New efforts directed towards holding the long delayed national convention of All Progressives Congress, APC, are to be canvassed today at an expanded meeting involving National Working Committee, NWC, principal officers of National Assembly and APC governors.

Beside discussions on the national convention, the meeting is expected to discuss the National Caucus meeting slated for October 30 and National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting scheduled for the next day, both holding at the Presidential Villa.

Vanguard gathered that the $5.5 billion loan request by the President would also be discussed to get the support of National Assembly leaders.

The party has continued to draw flaks from some within and outside for its inability to hold the convention in April, but party leaders had attributed the delay to the health challenge of President Muhammadu Buhari, a situation that saw him out of the country for the better part of the year.
