October 18, 2014 The All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced that it will be holding an extraordinary convention in Abuja on Wednesday, October 29 to amend the constitution of the party. According to it, the amendment became necessary in other to allow the party function more effectively. National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, disclosed this on Friday in Abuja at the conclusion of the party’s National Executive Council meeting. “Principally, we proposed certain amendments to the constitution of the party that will allow the party to function much more efficiently. And to that extent, we will hold what I call an extraordinary convention of the party on the 29 of this month in Abuja to submit the proposals of the amendment to the national convention of the party. “We have already published our guidelines on our time table and so far nothing has changed. “The modalities for the primaries is part of the reason why we need to amend our constitution because the Electoral Act 2010 as amended says that one can conduct a primary. “But if you are going to do that, then one must be explicit on how you are going to conduct it, and that is why we need to amend our constitution,” said Mohammed.
