National Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will meet on Tuesday.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led panel will meet on Tuesday to discuss the convention of the party.
According to reports, the decision of the caretaker committee to meet follows a meeting of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
A source said, “Following Sunday’s scheduled meeting of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, the party’s caretaker committee will meet on Tuesday, 18th January 2022 on the convention.”
Gatekeepers News earlier reported that Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state said the exact date of the convention planned for February will be announced after a meeting of the APC governors on Sunday.
Lalong had said, “By Sunday, we will tell you when we’re doing the convention. We have taken a date already.
“We said we are going to do a convention in February and we are still working for the convention. As far as I’m concerned, except things change from another angle, we’re working for our convention in February.”
However, no date was announced after the meeting.
In November, the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), Atiku Bagudu, said President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed February 2022 for the APC to hold its convention.
At that time, Bagudu said, “So, the governors, based on all these, suggested that the party and the president should graciously consider February, and the president is favourably disposed to the suggestion.”
