Reading out the resolutions of the NWC, Morka announced that the party’s national leadership has appointed five officers into the State Working Committees in five States.

He also said the APC NWC deliberated on the schedule and plan of activities for the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo and Ondo States, adding that details would be announced soon.
Morka further said that the ruling party “condemns the violent attack on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Kogi State, Dr Gabriel Longpet and calls on law enforcement authorities to expeditiously investigate, arrest and bring perpetrators to justice.”
