While concerning the February 26 national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Uzodimma pointed out that there is no intention to move the date of the event but there is nothing wrong if it is moved.
He noted that instead of anyone building concern over little issues as regards the date of the convention, the focus should lie in building a better and workable democracy in the country.
He maintained that the discretion on how and when the party’s convention will hold is an internal party affair and any of the modes including consensus can be adopted to elect officers.
