The national convention of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) scheduled for 10am is yet to commence as of
12:30pm due to downpour.
Residents of Abuja, where the
convention is holding, woke up to the rain but this did not stop delegates from
trooping in to Eagle Square, venue of the exercise.
A total of 6,800 delegates are
expected to elect those who would pilot the affairs of the party for the next
four years.
All roads around the square have
been cordoned off by police officers, soldiers and operatives of the Department
of State Services (DSS).
Officials of the Federal Road
Safety Corps (FRSC) are controlling traffic within the capital city.
Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi,
and Abdulrahman Dambazau, minister of interior; Aliyu Wammako, former governor of
Sokoto, are among those currently at the venue.
President Muhammadu Buhari is
expected to arrive at 1pm.
