President Muhammadu Buhari and The All Progressives Congress governors will this week pick a new date for APC national convention, which was earlier slated for February 26.
“No other steps necessary to show preparation for the convention has been taken by the caretaker committee, hence, the necessity for today’s meeting by the governors,” a source close to the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), said at the weekend.
The meeting was shifted last week to enable the President to travel to Belgium for the European Union-Africa Union (EU-AU) Summit in Brussels.
According to a source, the caretaker committee is planning to ask for a long shift of the convention, but some governors are believed to be angry about this.
The source said:
“Having conducted congresses from the ward to the state level, the line of argument of the caretaker committee was that it will be proper to have zonal leaders of the party determined at their various geo-political zones for proper inclusiveness of party members.
“Hence, they (CECPC) will be proposing to Mr President the need for zonal congress before the national convention.”
