National convention: APC bars political appointees from voting

Less than 48 hours to its national convention, the stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have been thrown into confusion after the party leadership barred political appointees from voting as delegates at the event.

This was contained in a statement issued on the twitter handle of the APC national convention, @APCNatConv22, which is managed by the party’s convention sub-committee on digital communications.

The statement was titled, ‘Attention to political office holders who were elected as delegates’.

It read: “The National Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of APC has declared that all political appointees who were elected as delegates to the National Convention slated for 26/3/2022 shall not vote in view of the controversy surrounding Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act, 2022.

“However, political appointees can still attend as observers.

“Please circulate to those concerned and treat as very important. #APCNationalConvention.”
