THE convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) scheduled for February 26 is now certain to hold. 

The national caretaker body is writing to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to notify it of the coming exercise, as demanded by the Electoral Act. 

The “Notice” from the Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker leadership is being awaited at the headquarters of the electoral body today. 

A national newspaper first reported the chief press secretary to INEC chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, on January 7 as saying the governing party was yet to notify the electoral body of the exercise. 

Section 85 (1) of the Electoral Act says, “A registered political party shall give the commission at least 21 days notice of any convention, congress, conference or meeting convened for the purpose of electing members of its executive committees, other governing bodies or nominating candidates for any of the elective offices specified under this Act.” 

As days clocked on the planned convention, anxiety had heightened among the party faithful that the exercise might be truncated if the legal demands were not fulfilled or met. 

With the “Notice” for submission today, the Buni committee is five days clear of the deadline set by the guiding provision to fulfill the condition. INEC officials are expected to monitor the exercise.

Happiness is on the way for Nigerians. The outcome of the convention is what will make Osinbajo president.

Evil party. Wishing the evil party unending crisis in this convention. This convention will definitely lead to more factions in the party.

Undecided APC members are waiting for the convention to know where to pitch their tent. The reason is not far-fetched.

If the PDP settles for Abubakar Atiku, APC will throw their hands open and give their ticket to someone that can assure them a landslide in 2023, money bag for money bag, political structure for political structure, geopolitical appeal for geopolitical appeal.

We should not forget that APC is just 8 years old and what appealed to Nigerians in 2015 is not the same now.

The APC governors want one of them to be president in 2023 but unfortunately none of them have the Presidential appeal.

Nigerians want someone who has the intellectual nuances of Osinbajo, grassroots connection of fayose, human feeling of zulum and economic shrewdness of Peter obi all in one.
