The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has postponed the earlier scheduled commissioning of the party South South zonal secretariat on May 28, 2021, to honour the departed Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and ten other senior military officers/servicemen.
Lt. Gen. Attahiru and ten others died in an air crash on Friday onboard military Beechcraft 350 which went down at the Kaduna International Airport, claiming all passengers.
A statement by Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, National Secretary Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning of APC said, “Owing to the tragic mishap that claimed the lives of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and ten other senior military officers/servicemen, the National Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of our party, H.E (Hon.) Mai Mala Buni has directed that the aforementioned event earlier scheduled for 28th May 2021 at Enugu be shifted to Friday 4th June 2021 at 10:am.
