The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed July 24 for its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting where a new national chairman will be elected following the resignation of Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.
The development was confirmed on Monday after the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja, where the Deputy National Chairman (North), Ali Bukar Dalori, formally stepped in as the acting national chairman.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the meeting, the APC Deputy National Secretary, Festus Fuanter, said the NEC gathering would provide the platform for the party to elect a substantive national chairman.
“A formal notice for the NEC meeting has been sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),” Fuanter stated.
The NWC had earlier announced Dalori as acting chairman following Ganduje’s resignation, paving the way for the party to reorganize its leadership structure.
