The National Convention of the All Progressives Congress will hold not later than April 2017.
This was one of outcomes of the National Working Committee meeting of the party, which held this week at its National Secretariat in Abuja.
The meeting was chaired by the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
According to a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, the processes leading to the National Convention will commence with the Congress to fill vacancies in the State Party structures across the country.
The vacancies to be filled, Abdullah’s said, occurred principally from political appointments, deaths and resignations.
The Congress to fill the vacancies would be followed closely by another Congress to nominate delegates into the mid-term non-elective Convention of the party.
The Congresses will be followed by the National Caucus meeting and finalised with the National Executive Committee meeting, which will consider and set the dates for the National Convention.
Abdullahi said this is in accordance with the constitution of the party that its convention must be held once in two years.
