The All Progressives Congress, APC is reportedly on the verge of suspending its National Convention earlier scheduled for June 2021.
It was revealed that the possible postponement of the convention was connected to the upcoming religious festivals.
A top-ranking member of the national caucus of the party who confirmed the possible postponement of the event to newsmen said it is impossible for the convention to hold on the earlier announced date, noting that the Christian believers would be observing lent and conventional wisdom dictates that will allow them to observe the religious period.
He further explained that after the Christians are done with their festive in April, the Muslim brothers will also commence the month of Ramadan and that if not for the COVID-19, many would travel for the lesser hajj for the duration of this period.
The source said after all of that, the ward, local government and state congresses will begin to elect delegates for the convention.
According to source, party leaders at various levels were fully aware of the development, which would be formally communicated soon.
