Delegates arrive at APC national convention venue
Delegates from various state chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have started arriving at the venue of the party’s eighth elective national convention.
Correspondents covering the convention noticed a heavy presence of party stalwarts, members, and supporters in their colourful party outfits.
Delegates from Kaduna, Imo, Delta, Ebonyi, Benue, Lagos, Kogi, Rivers, and Plateau states were already seated at the Eagle Square convention venue.
The convention, with the theme “Unity in Progress: Consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda,” is expected to host no fewer than 8,453 delegates from the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.
Security has been beefed up around the Three Arms Zone, with personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the State Security Service (SSS) conducting thorough screenings.
The minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris, had earlier assured the public that all the 20 subcommittees had finalised arrangements to ensure a transparent and hitch-free elective process.
The convention is expected to be attended by President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, 32 state governors, and members of the National Assembly.
