The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who serves as co-chairman of the committee, performed the inauguration on Monday and tasked members with ensuring clear communication and broad publicity for the party’s upcoming gathering, ENigeria Newspaper confirmed.
Idris, who spoke virtually from the United Kingdom, described the convention as an important event in the history of the ruling party.
“As you are all aware, this convention is a significant milestone in the life of our great party as we continue to strengthen internal democracy and consolidate our vision for a united, prosperous, and progressive Nigeria,” he stated.
