The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed July 24 for its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, where members are expected to nominate a new national chairman.
This development comes in the wake of the resignation of the former party chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who stepped down last Friday.
In the meantime, the party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, has assumed duties as Acting National Chairman.
His appointment was confirmed during an emergency meeting of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Addressing journalists after the NWC session, Deputy National Secretary, Barrister Festus Fuanter, announced the NEC meeting date.
He added that a formal notice regarding the meeting had already been sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in line with procedural requirements.
