FINALLY, APC RELEASES NAMES OF 24 APPROVED GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATES FOR 2019


The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released the list of 24 cleared candidates for the 2019 governorship elections.
The list was contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena.
This list according to the statement is a result of the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) held on Thursday.
“Following the Governorship Primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held across the country, the Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) at its meeting held on Thursday, 4th October, 2018 ratified the reports of the various Electoral Committees and adopts the under-listed as Governorship candidates of the APC for the forthcoming 2019 general elections,” Mr Nabena said.
Our source reported how the APC held its primaries across states from September 30 spilling into October due to rescheduling of the exercise in some states and controversies in others.
The party did not name candidates in some states whose primaries are yet to be resolved. New electoral panels will be set up to conduct governorship primaries in Imo and Zamfara states, the APC said in an earlier statement. No candidate has been named yet for Adamawa.
