APC reschedules State Congresses to October 16

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has rescheduled its nationwide State congresses to October 16.

The party had initially fixed the State Congresses for October 2, 2021.

The APC said the reason for the postponement is to honour the country’s 61st Independence anniversary.

The disclosure was contained in a statement issued and signed by the National Secretary of the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, James Akpanudoedehe on Wednesday in Abuja.

“The need to honor the country’s 61st Independence anniversary, which holds a day before the initial date fixed for the state congresses, informed the new date.

“Governors, ministers, and party members will be involved in the Independence celebrations in their various states. The party decided to reschedule the state congresses to allow all our members to participate in the Independence celebration,” the statement read.
