APC To Meet Tuesday On Membership Registration

The Interim National Executive Committee of the newly registered All Progressives Congress (APC) is expected to hold its inaugural meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.

Sources close to the party’s hierarchy told LEADERSHIP Weekend that the main agenda of the meeting would be the modalities to be put in place to ensure mass registration of members into the party across the country.

The sources who pleaded not to be mentioned in a telephone interview stated that the meeting was called by stakeholders in the new party who stated that the move was aimed at sustaining the momentum gained so far in the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the party.

Also, the sources stated that the move is as a result of the need to follow up on the visitation of some select members of the new party to some notable Nigerian leaders who were said to have shown soft spot for APC.

“The Interim National Executive of the party is expected to hold its inaugural meeting on Tuesday,” one of the sources told our correspondent in a telephone interview but refrained from divulging information on the agenda.

Another source close to the leadership of the new party however stated that the meeting “would workout modalities for the registration of members into the party and it will it also discuss some other issues that I am not willing to tell you now.”
