The All Progressives Congress, APC, has approved a detailed timetable for its forthcoming National Convention. The convention is scheduled for February 26 in Abuja.

The party set February 22 – 24 for screening of aspirants vying for various people positions.

National Secretary, APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.

He said, “The APC CECPC at its 19th regular meeting on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at the party’s National Secretariat considered and adopted the timetable/schedule of activities for the February 26, APC National Convention.”

According to him, the schedule of activities ahead of the party’s national convention is as seen below:

“Receiving of the interim report of the National Reconciliation Committee, January 31, 2022.

“Consideration and adoption of Reports of State Congresses – February 2, 2022.

“Inauguration of the State Executives – February 03, 2022.

“Sale of forms to all aspirants vying for National Offices at the APC National Secretariat, February 14, 2022.

“Submission of completed forms and accompanying documents at the APC National Secretariat on or before February 19, 2022.

“Publication of Sub-Committees – February 19, 2022.

“Screening of all aspirants vying for National Offices – February 20 – February 22.

“Screening Appeals to hear and resolve complaints arising from the screening exercise – February 23, 2022.

“Accreditation of all statutory and elected delegates to the National Convention – February 24 to February 25, 2022.

“National Convention to elect National Officers to the National Executive Committee – February 26, 2022.

The APC scribe, at an interaction with newsmen at the party’s National Secretariat, had earlier described as fake, reports that the party’s leadership had zoned its national chairmanship position to a particular zone.

Akpankudohede said the report should be disregarded, adding that the party has not taken any decision on zoning, yet.

It would be recalled that the party has been under the control of Governor Buni led extra ordinary committee since the removal of it’s former National Chairman, ex Governor Adams Oshiomhole and his executive members.
