APC insist on July 31 for its nationwide ward congresses

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed that the Ward Congresses to elect party executives will hold across the country as scheduled.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC)  Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe on Thursday in Abuja.

The exercise had been slated for Saturday, July 31st 2021.

This clarification is against the backdrop of personal opinions being expressed by some individuals on the status of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC ) and its capacity to conduct the Congresses following Wednesday’s Supreme Court Judgement.

The National Secretary added that the Supreme Court judgement on Wednesday affirming the Election victory of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu SAN had no bearing on the CECPC’s status and its membership.

He however urged party members and aspirants to come out enmasse and peacefully participate in the ward Congresses on Saturday.
