APC Dissociates Party From Campaign Council Lists For Bayelsa, Kogi, Imo States’ Governorship Polls
SaharaReporters earlier reported that the ruling APC announced the list of members for its campaign councils for the Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo governorship elections.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissociated itself from the Campaign Council lists for the November 11, 2023 governorship elections scheduled to be held in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo states.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that the ruling APC announced the list of members for its campaign councils for the Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo governorship elections.
The party named Gombe Governor Inuwa Yahaya as the chairman of the party’s governorship campaign council in Bayelsa.
It also listed the Defence Minister, Abubakar Badaru; Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, as co-chairmen.
A former national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole; Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo and Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu are also members of the council.
In another list, the party listed the FCT Minister and former governor of Rivers State, Mr Nyesom Wike as a member of the campaign council. While his name appeared as number six on that APC list, he also appeared in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council list for Bayelsa as number 12.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Barr. Felix Morka in a statement issued late Tuesday night said the lists were not official.
Titled ‘RE: National Campaign Council Lists For Bayelsa, Imo And Kogi Governorship Elections,’ Morka, said the lists are not official documents of the ruling party.
The statement reads: “The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to National Campaign Council Lists for the 11th November 2023 Governorship Elections in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo States in circulation in sections of the media. The lists are not official documents of the Party and should be disregarded.”
