APC Shifts NEC Meeting to Presidential Villa

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has made a last-minute change to the venue of its highly anticipated National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. 

Originally scheduled to take place at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the meeting will now be held at the prestigious Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa. This sudden shift has sparked discussions among political analysts and party members alike.  

Felix Morka, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, confirmed the venue change in a brief statement on Wednesday. 

While he cited "logistics reasons" as the cause for the switch, the move has raised eyebrows, given the significance of the meeting. 

The NEC gathering is expected to address critical issues, including the nomination and ratification of a new national chairman for the ruling party.  

The leadership vacuum in the APC follows the resignation of former National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje on June 27, reportedly due to health concerns. Since then, Abubakar Dalori has stepped in as the party’s acting chairman. 

Thursday’s meeting could mark a pivotal moment for the APC as it seeks to solidify its leadership ahead of future political challenges.  

With the relocation to the Presidential Villa, observers speculate whether this signals deeper political maneuvers or simply a matter of convenience. 

As stakeholders await the outcome of the NEC meeting, all eyes are on the APC to see who will emerge as the next national chairman and what this means for Nigeria’s ruling party moving forward. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
