This was disclosed on Thursday during a media briefing held at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja by the party’s Media and Publicity Committee for the convention.

Co-chair of the committee and Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said the convention would focus on electing party leaders, deepening policy engagement, and strengthening the APC’s internal democratic processes.
