Some, such as former Oyo State Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, dumped the party. He is to join  the Labour Party (LP) today.

The Adamawa chapter of the party led by Governor Bala Ngilari will boycott the national convention holding today and tomorrow in Abuja —in protest against the Abuja primary  where former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chief Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was picked as candidate.

Eleven governorship aspirants in Kwara State vowed yesterday to prevent what they called the imposition of Mr. Dele Belgore as candidate.

The Ogun State chapter rejected the directive by the National Working Committee (NWC) not to hold its congress. It insisted that Gboyega Isiaka, who was elected at the congress, must be the candidate.

Senator IfeanyiArarume (Imo), Musiliu Obanikoro (Lagos), Deputy Governor Mukhtar Shagari (Sokoto) and Dr. Ali Pate (Bauchi), who lost governorship primaries, have kicked against the results.

Senate Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba petitioned the National Secretariat, but House of Representatives member John Owah-Enoh, who defeated him for the Cross River Central ticket, said “he is a bad loser”.
