Delegates from various state chapters of All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have started arriving the venue of the party’s eighth elective national convention.
Already seated at the Eagle Square convention venue were delegates from Kaduna, Imo, Delta, Ebonyi, Benue, Lagos, Kogi, Rivers and Plateau states.
The convention, with the theme: “Unity in Progress: Consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda,” is expected to host no fewer than 8,453 delegates from the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.
That security has been beefed up around the Three Arms Zone, with personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and Department of State Services (DSS) conducting thorough screenings.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, had earlier assured the public that all the 20 sub-committees had finalised arrangements to ensure a transparent and hitch-free elective process.
The convention is expected to be attended by President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, 32 state governors and members of the National Assembly.
