The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its much-anticipated National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings, originally scheduled for September 11 and 12, 2024. The party did not announce a new date for these important gatherings, leaving members and observers waiting for further updates.

Barrister Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, confirmed the news late on Monday night. He stated that the decision to postpone the meetings was made, but he did not provide any specific reasons for the sudden change.

The meetings had been approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and there was a lot of anticipation surrounding them. The APC even placed advertisements, urging members of both the National Caucus and the NEC to attend. This made the postponement even more surprising, as many were expecting significant discussions and decisions to take place.

Despite the lack of explanation in the official announcement, Morka assured that new dates for the meetings would be communicated soon. Members of the APC are now left waiting for updates, uncertain about when these crucial meetings will be held.

A statement from the APC read, “Members of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are hereby informed that the National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings scheduled to be held on September 11 and 12, 2024, respectively, have been postponed.”

While the statement did not provide a reason for the delay, a source at the APC secretariat disclosed that President Bola Tinubu’s potential absence from the country played a part in the decision. The source mentioned that there was uncertainty about whether Tinubu would be able to attend the meetings due to international commitments.

The indefinite postponement has left many speculating about the future of these meetings and the discussions that were expected to take place. As the party and its members await further instructions, the focus now shifts to when and how these key meetings will be rescheduled.
