APC 2022 Convention: Why The Ruling Party Postponed The Rally

The All Progressives Congress (APC) 2022 national convention slated to take place on Saturday 26 February, was postponed on Monday due to an internal crisis.

What happened: The ruling party informed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the event would take place on “Saturday 26th March 2022” instead. The outdoor convention — which had gained serious publicity — was scheduled due to a misunderstanding within the caucus.
