The gathering will bring party members together to discuss policies, elect new leaders, and align strategies ahead of future elections. He also noted that the event will highlight the achievements of President Bola Tinubu and reinforce the party’s commitment to its development agenda.

The convention will take place at Eagle Square, where preparations are said to be in full swing, with multiple committees working to ensure a smooth and transparent process.

Chairman of the convention’s coordinating committee, Aminu Masari, expressed confidence in the level of readiness, stating that over 25 sub-committees have been set up to handle different aspects of the event.

Addressing concerns about possible legal disputes over zoning arrangements, Masari said the party has not received any official notice of litigation. He emphasized that the APC follows the federal character principle, ensuring that party positions are fairly distributed across regions.

However, not everyone is satisfied. Some members have raised concerns about how the zoning process was handled. One aspirant, Fubara Dagogo, has taken the matter to the Federal High Court, claiming he was unfairly excluded from a recent zonal congress despite meeting all requirements. Another member, Paul Oyiborume, has also voiced dissatisfaction, though he has not yet gone to court.

Overall, the convention is expected to play a major role in shaping the APC’s leadership structure and political strategy as it prepares for the next phase of Nigeria’s electoral cycle.
