Hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the extension of deadline for the submission of list of candidates by political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has also confirmed the postponement of its special convention/presidential primary earlier scheduled for May 29-30.
This was confirmed in a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, late Saturday.
The statement was titled: ‘APC special convention for presidential primary postponed.’
Morka said, “Following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s extension of deadline for the submission of list of candidates by political parties, the All Progressives Congress hereby postpones its special convention for presidential primary from Sunday, 29 – Monday, 30 May, 2020 to Monday, 6 – Wednesday, 8 June, 2022.”
The New Diplomat reports that the ruling party had at several times revised the timetable and schedule of activities for its primaries.
