The first indication that the controversial National Convention of the embattled ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), may yet hold on Saturday, March 26 emerged on Tuesday as the party finally put a fee on the various positions.
National chairmanship aspirants will pay N20m each for nomination forms.
Aspirants for the office of the Deputy National Chairman will pay N10 million while other positions in the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party will attract N5 million each.
Meanwhile, after a week of the leadership crisis that rocked the APC, the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has once again taken full control of the party secretariat in Abuja.
