The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its ward, local and state congresses indefinitely.
The congresses were scheduled to commence on July 24, 2021.
In a letter dated July 6, which was addressed to the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, the party said it has rescheduled its congresses and national convention to a later date.
The letter was signed by Governor Mai Mala Buni, National Chairman, Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Senator John James Akpan Udoedehe, the Secretary of the Committee.
Elendu Reports gathered from a reliable source that the party took the decision to postpone the congresses owing to disagreements in the party, especially on zoning.
Last month, Akpanu Udoedehe in a statement had said “President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday approved the review of the timelines available to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).
“The president also approved the timetable for APC ward, local government and state congresses.”
Ward congresses will hold 24th July, 2021 followed by local government congresses on 14th August, 2021 and state congresses on 18th September, 2021.”
