By The All Progressives Congress has officially notified the Independent National Electoral Commission of its decision to hold its National Convention on February 26.

“This is to inform the Commission that our great Party has scheduled to hold its National Convention on Saturday, February 26, 2022.
“This serves as a formal notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 85 of the Electoral Act (2010) as amended. Kindly arrange for your officials to monitor the exercise accordingly.
“While hoping to receive your cooperation, please accept the assurances of our highest esteem.”
In a related development, the APC, on Thursday, inaugurated its state executives, amid palpable tension at the national secretariat in Abuja.
