APC NWC Suspends Abia Congresses Over Ongoing Consultations

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the conduct of its state, local government and ward congresses in Abia State, citing ongoing consultations within the party.

The decision, announced on Wednesday, is understood to be part of efforts by the party’s national leadership to allow for broader engagement with stakeholders across the state before proceeding with the internal electoral process.

Although no new date has been fixed for the exercise, party sources said the suspension is aimed at fostering unity and ensuring a smooth, transparent and credible congress when eventually held.

The congresses are expected to produce party executives at the ward, local government and state levels, forming the structure that will steer the party’s activities in Abia.

Further details on the rescheduled timetable are anticipated from the party’s national secretariat after the conclusion of consultations.
