The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has released a schedule of activities for its convention slated for February 26, 2022.
The timetable was released shortly after a meeting of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, held at the party’s national secretariat on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the schedule, the party would first receive the Interim Report of the National Reconciliation Committee headed by a former governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Adamu, on January 31.
It also said consideration and adoption of report of state congresses, inauguration of state executives, sales of forms to all aspirants vying for national offices would take place on February 2, 3 and 14, 2022, among others.
The schedule was signed by secretary of the caretaker committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe.
Addressing newsmen earlier, Senator Akpanudoedehe dismissed reports that the party has zoned its offices.
“I’m here to debunk the fake news going round on the social media that we have zoned offices. We are yet to meet on the issue of zoning,” he said.
Meanwhile, an APC National Chairmanship aspirant, Dr Sani Shinkafi, has said he would maintain the supremacy of the party at all levels if given the mandate at the convention.
He stated this on Wednesday while speaking to newsmen at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
He equally promised to promote and strengthen internal democracy within the party.
