THE All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that its national convention will take place in February 2022.
Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, PGF, and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu revealed this to State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The APC Governors forum chairman was in the company of the APC Caretaker Committee Chairman and governor of Yobe State, Mai Malla Buni and the governor of Jigawa State, Abubakar Badaru.
Governor Bagudu was accompanied to the villa by the Chairman of the APC National Caretaker Committee and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as well as Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State.
He told State House correspondents that the meeting was to brief the President on the decision of the Progressives Governors Forum when the members met on Sunday night.
According to Bagudu, the governors resolved that the convention should hold in February 2022 and the same suggestion was proposed to the President for approval.
He, however, stated that that party’s leadership has yet to decide on a specific date to conduct its national convention.
The governor said the party would notify the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) while it works out a timetable.
