The All Progressives Congress (APC) has indefinitely postponed its ward congresses in Abia State, the party’s national leadership announced in a letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The decision, signed by APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda and National Secretary Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, follows ongoing consultations and the need to conclude certain preparatory and administrative processes.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) hereby formally notifies the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the suspension of the state, ward, and local government congresses of the party, earlier scheduled to hold pursuant to the approved timetable of activities, is until further notice,” the statement read.
The party added that it would provide INEC with a revised schedule of activities in due course, in line with the Electoral Act 2022 and the Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties, 2022.
The postponement comes as political stakeholders in Abia State await the party’s updated timetable, amid heightened preparations for upcoming local and state-level political exercises.
