The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has changed the venue of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for Thursday.

The party’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, announced this in a terse statement on Wednesday.

Mr Morka said the meeting, earlier planned to hold at the party’s national secretariat on Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, Abuja, would now be held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa.

According to him, the change of the meeting venue was occasioned by some logistics reasons.

The nomination and ratification of a new national chairman for the party would form a major issue for discussion at the meeting.

This followed the resignation of the party’s former national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, on June 27, reportedly on health grounds.

Mr Ganduje’s resignation paved the way for Abubakar Dalori to assume office as the party’s acting national chairman.
