January 18, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni has announced that the national convention of the party will be held on February 26.
Buni made this known on Tuesday in Abuja while delivering a speech at the Progressives Women Congress held in Abuja.
He said the party is counting on the support of women to hold a successful convention.
THEWILL recalls that the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) had met on Sunday in Abuja to deliberate on the forthcoming convention of the party.
However, after the meeting that lasted for hours, the Chairman of the Forum and the governor of Kebbi, Atiku Bagudu said the Caretaker committee, chaired by the Governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni was the appropriate organ of the party to announce the convention date.
“It is the responsibility of the CECPC to do that. We are just a section of the stakeholders and we have conceded that duty to the caretaker and very soon, they will brief you on the date”, he said.
