The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has set up a 68-member committee to oversee its upcoming national elective convention.

Osita Izunaso, the national organising secretary of the party, announced this in a statement on Sunday.

However, the statement did not reveal when the convention will hold or when the committee will be inaugurated.

The committee is chaired by Badaru Abubakar, governor of Jigawa state, while its deputy chairman and secretary are Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state; and Ben Uwajumogwu respectively.

The president had said he wanted to avoid a legal battle that could jeopardise the party’s cohesion before the 2019 general election.
