National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, says the internal crisis in the party may affect the success of the party in the 2023 general election.

Senator Adamu disclosed this in his opening address at the 11th National Executive Committee NEC meeting of the APC held at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja.

The NEC meeting is the first the APC is holding after its much-anticipated National Convention held last month where the Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee were dissolved and new leadership was sworn in by the President.

Although the top agenda for Wednesday’s NEC meeting remains under wraps, the Party’s timetable of activities ahead of next year’s elections is believed to be top of the agenda.

This includes dates and prices for the sale of nomination and expression of interest forms for all electoral offices including the Presidency, Governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Representatives.

Also to be discussed is the mode of primaries the party would adopt in its primary elections holding next month, in accordance with the INEC timetable.
