President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with the All
Progressives Congress (APC) governors at the presidential villa in Abuja.
The meeting is coming amid the rigmarole surrounding the
national convention of the ruling party.
The party had on Monday fixed its convention for March 26
while March 12 was earmarked as the date it will elect its zonal officers
across the six geo-political zones.
The governors were meant to have met with the president
before now, but it was delayed due to his trip to Brussels, Belgium, to attend
the EU-AU summit.
Issues surrounding the postponement of the party’s
convention are expected to dominate the discourse at the meeting.
The party had earlier fixed February 26 for the convention
but a postponement was announced after some confusion on the date.
John Akpanudoedehe, national secretary of the APC caretaker
committee, had said zonal congresses would be held prior to the party’s
convention.
“After deliberations
and agreement with the national caretaker committee, we have agreed and
approved that the activities of the national convention commence from the 24th
of February and terminate on the 26th of March,” Akpanudoedehe had said.
“The convention activities will commence on February 24 and
terminate at Eagle Square on 26th of March. In between the convention, we have
agreed to have zonal congresses.”
