APC writes INEC on national convention

The Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has written a letter notifying the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of its national convention holding on 26 of February.

There were speculations in a section of the media that the national leadership was scheming to shift the date.

But in a letter by Governor Mai Mala Buni and the secretary John James Akpanudoedehe, addressed to the Chairman of electoral commission, dated 2nd February, 2022, the INEC is informed of the party’s national convention slated for February 26.

The letter read in part: “Follow up to our letter referenced APC/NHDQ/INEC/19/021/40 dated 11% July, 2021 on the NOTICE FOR THE CONDUCT OF NATIONAL CONVENTION.
