Politicians and some state delegates have started trooping into the party’s secretariat since Friday, June 22, giving petty traders opportunity to take advantage of the crowd to display their wares: souvenirs, ranging from branded key holders to hats, face caps and T-shirts.

21-member National Working Committee (NWC) of the party expires on Monday, June
25, with 17 of them seeking re-election. They include Deputy National Chairman

George Moghalu, and National Women Leader, Aisha Tijjani. Others are National
Organising Secretary, Osita Izunaso, National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji
Abdullahi, Deputy National Secretary, Victor Geidam, National Vice Chairman
