APC Convention (LIVE UPDATES): Delegates set to affirm Buhari as party’s candidate

About 7,000 delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are expected to converge on Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday to affirm President Muhammadu Buhari as the candidate of the party in the February 2019 election.

Mr Buhari had earlier been elected by the members of the party via direct primaries held in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on September 28.

Although there were other aspirants, the president was the only one that purchased and returned the expression of interest and nomination forms.

If affirmed today, it will be Mr Buhari fifth attempt at the presidency having failed in 2003, 2007 and 2011 before finally clinching the position in the 2015 elections.
