Over 8,000 delegates are expected to storm Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre, for the national convention of the All Progressive Congress, scheduled to hold on December 10 and 11, 2014.

The delegates, who are to converge on the Teslim Balogun Stadium, will elect the party’s presidential flag bearer who will face President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 election.

Chairman of the convention planning committee and immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, said this at a press briefing in Abuja, on Wednesday.

Five aspirants have been cleared by the Ogbonnaya Onu-led presidential screening committee to contest in the primaries.

They are: Former Head of State, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, incumbent Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and his Imo State counterpart, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, and the publisher of Leadership Newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah.

Fayemi said, “As you may already be aware, our convention takes place on December 10 and 11 2014. The venue of our convention is Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos State. It would be at the clear view of all Nigerians. Those who are not opportune to be there would view it through the TV or follow it on social media.”

He assured all five aspirants as well as Nigerians that his committee has put in place a transparent process which will lead to a credible outcome that will be acceptable to all.

He explained that all of the party’s aspirants have been briefed on every step taken to ensure a hitch free national convention in Lagos. The event was earlier scheduled to hold at the Eagle Square Abuja.

The former governor dispelled insinuations that his committee was planning to hold a coronation.

According to him, the aspirants were going to face an election which will hold in the full glare of Nigerians and that no room would be left for speculations.

“All our aspirants have also been briefed on the various steps we’ve taken. Our committee is having our last meeting in Abuja today and we are relocating to the venue of the convention from this moment,” He said.

In response to a question as to how many delegates are expected at the convention, he said “We are expecting over 8,000 delegates.”

He equally said the committee carried along all the aspirants in arriving at decisions taken.
