No, because it would disrupt club football for a second time in 12 months.
It should be a 4-yearly event.

Is there any official article by cafonline or fifa.com about exact schedule?
I've found lot of articles that "caf unveiled dates for afcon 2025 qualifiers", but no information from caf itself.

CAF very often don’t post these information on their website, and only released them to the FAs.
And these are the only dates available. June 2024 and March 2025 are taken by the World Cup qualifiers. So the only logical choices are March 2024 for the preliminary round, and September, October and November 2024 for the qualifying group stage (6 matchdays).

Africa Cup of Nations Cup to move to odd-numbered years
Caf hopes the switch will help African teams do well at the World Cup
The Confederation of African Football (Caf), has confirmed that the Africa Cup of Nations will now be held in odd- numbered years.
A statement on the Caf website says the switch will take place from 2013.
The decision was rubber-stamped at a CAF executive committee meeting at its headquarters in Cairo on Saturday.
The change means that two tournaments will be staged within a year with Gabon and Equatorial Guinea co-hosting one in 2012 and Libya 12 months later.
The decision means the Nations Cup will no longer be held in the same year as the World Cup, one of the reasons given for the poor performance of African teams at the world event.
In February Algeria coach Rabah Saadane had told the BBC the qualification matches for the 2012 edition would also serve for Libya.
"The 11 different qualifying groups are going to count for both 2012 and 2013," he told the BBC.
"It's official and what's more, the qualifiers for the Nations Cup and World Cup are going to be separate from now on," he continued.
Caf also announced that the Championship of African Nations (CHAN) will now be held in even-numbered years, starting with Libya in 2014.
The Nations Cup has been played in an even year since 1968, although the very first competition in Sudan took place in 1957.
