The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended its national convention earlier scheduled for February 26 and instead fixed its zonal congresses for Saturday, March 26, 2022.

The decision was communicated to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday.

The letter was signed by the Chairman of the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Governor Mala Buni of Yobe State and the Secretary, John Akpanudoedehe.

With the New date fixed for the zonal congresses it therefore means that the February 26 national convention is no longer possible.

Until a few days ago when the APC disclosed its plans to amend some sections of its constitution, the concept of zonal congresses was alien to the party.

In the amendments proposed by the Governor Mala Buni-led Caretaker Committee, the party created the new organ not only to elect officers of the Zonal Executive Committee but to also approve budget, receive reports from officers in the region and delegate powers.

The party had on February 3 written INEC to inform it that it would hold its national convention on February 26.
