The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has shifted the long-awaited meetings of its National Caucus and National Executive Committee, NEC earlier slated for Monday and Tuesday by one week.
Iyiola Omisore, National Secretary of the party, in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday said both meetings will now hold on July 18 and 19 respectively.
“Members of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress are hereby informed that our meetings of 10th and 11th of July, 2023, have been postponed to the 18th and 19th of July, 2023, respectively,” the notice said.
Omisore announced that the date change was to honour President Bola Tinubu following his emergence as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States on Sunday afternoon in Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau.
The ECOWAS chairmanship is a position held by one of the heads of state or government of the member countries, chosen on a rotating basis for one year.
“The postponement is necessitated by the regional and sub-regional schedules and engagements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States. Inconveniences regretted,” he said.
