Major parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja are feeling the heat of preparations by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for its national convention.

The long-awaited convention is finally going to be held at Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday, March 26, but since Thursday, March 24, delegates, candidates, stakeholders, and members of the organising committees are already trooping into the FCT.

A perfect example of this was what Joe Igbokwe, an aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, shared on his Facebook on Friday, March 25.
