Senate and House of Assembly – Saturday, 28th of May, 2022

The news comes just one day after an APC spokeswoman denied that the primary election schedule would be changed.
“Our attention has been drawn to a story of purported adjustment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Timetable/ Schedule of Activities for the 2023 General Elections, which is making the rounds on social media,” he said in a statement on Monday. “The story should be disregarded as fake news.”
