The convention is scheduled for March 27 and 28 in Abuja.

According to Mr Idris, the party will hold a world press conference on Thursday to unveil its plans and preparations for the upcoming convention.
“As part of what we need to do, a major press conference will be held on Thursday to unveil the expectations of the party to Nigerians,” Mr Idris said.
He called on members of the committee to work together in unity to ensure effective communication and successful delivery of the convention.
“A lot of sacrifice is expected from all, in line with the party’s vision for a united and disciplined approach to communicating to Nigerians,” he said.
The minister reminded members that the APC must continue to uphold strong internal democratic values.
“As party members, we must subject ourselves to a significant attribute of our president.
“Throughout his political career, and particularly in the last three years of his national leadership, he has subjected himself to all internal democratic processes,” Idris said.
