The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has recommended holding a mini-convention next month (August) to fill the offices of National Chairman and Secretary.
In dramatic circumstances, Adamu Abdullahi and Iyiola Omisore resigned as National Chairman and National Secretary on Sunday.
A member of the NWC told reporters that the possibility of the acting National Chairman, Abubakar Kyari, making the ministerial list has required the convening of the elective mini-convention as soon as possible.

According to the source, the national leadership believed that organizing the mini-convention to fill the vacant posts would help the unfreezing of party accounts.
“We have already started preparing for the mini-convention, and I can assure you that it will not be too long. We are looking at the possibility of holding it within one month, tentatively next week, August, if there is no reason to change the plans we are already making.
“We have to organise the mini-convention as soon as possible because there is every likelihood that our acting chairman may cross over to the executive side. There shall be no vacuum that will make the party suffer.
“But even if the acting chairman didn’t eventually cross over as anticipated, he cannot continue in acting capacity for too long. We don’t want to be like the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Committee that lasted from six months to years,” the source said.

“You also know that our accounts have been frozen due to the leadership crisis we had and the resignation of two of the signatories. Yes, we are making arrangements to unfreeze the accounts, but we also know that having a substantive national leadership through the elective mini-convention will fast-track the process,” the source added.
