After dilly dallying, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has again postponed its convention indefinitely earlier scheduled for February 26, 2022.
Before now, there were many speculations on the exact date before the executive committee of the party fixed February 26 at Eagles Square, Abuja.
This was contained in a letter dated 21st February and jointly signed by Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of APC and the National Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe.
The CECPC has instead notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of its decision to conduct zonal congresses in March 2022.
