At the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Sunday, President Muhammadu Buhari will host governors from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
After visiting the president on Friday, Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong revealed this to State House media.
The meeting takes place before of the APC’s national convention in February. At the meeting, the party’s leadership is expected to choose a date for the convention.
However, there are significant signs that the conference will focus on a new problem that threatens the national convention.
This comes as some unhappy party members have petitioned the Federal High Court in Abuja to have the convention canceled.
The party members urged the court in an action titled FHC/ABJ/CS/3/2022 to block the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Committee from holding the convention, claiming that the party has yet to hold congresses in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Suleiman Usman (an APC registered member in Nyanya ward, FCT), Muhammed Shehu (Banga ward, Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, Zamfara), and Audu Emmanuel (Furfuri ward, Bungudu LGA, Zamfara State) filed the complaint.
