APC clears two more governors for primary
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared two more governors for its governorship primary.
They are governors of Kano and Kaduna, Umar Ganduje and Nasir El-Rufai.
The decision was approved by the National Working Committee (NWC), according to a statement on Friday by party spokesman, Yekini Nabena.
The statement added that the name of a cleared governorship aspirant from Ogun State (South West) was earlier misrepresented, noting that the correct name is Hon. Bimbo Ashiru.
Meanwhile, the party has shifted its primary to September 30.
The APC had on Thursday released a list of governorship aspirants that have been cleared to contest for primaries in 26 states.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministers, Aisha Alhassan aka Mama Taraba and Adebayo Shittu were not cleared.
