There are indications that the Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has secured another extension until such a time that it can conduct the party’s National Convention.
The party is also set to release the formal timetable for the Congresses and the National Convention, which may hold in December.
It was gathered that the Caretaker Committee which was inaugurated in June 25, 2020 for six months after the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC) had its tenure extended for another six months in December, 2020 by an emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The Nation learnt that the decision for another extension was reached on Friday morning after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and the Caretaker Committee members.
