APC Dumps Audu’s Running Mate, To Conduct Fresh Primaries

The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday announced that it would conduct fresh primaries to determine a replacement for its late candidate, Abubakar Audu, in the inconclusive governorship election in Kogi State.

Addressing journalists at the party’s national Secretariat in Abuja, the national chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, said delegates to the last primaries – which saw the emergence of the late candidate – would determine who becomes the candidate.

On the fate of Mr. Audu’s running-mate, James Faleke, the APC national chairman said it would be decided after conducting fresh primary election.

“As a party, we are going to proceed with process of organising primaries to provide a substitute candidate for the late Abubakar Audu,” the party chairman declared.

Oshiomhole: Buhari’s Running Mate???

Previously, reports had it that Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, is considered as the top contender for the VP slot against Bola Tinubu, APC national leader.

New developments provide that Adams Oshiomhole, governor of Edo state, is now in strong contention for the vice-presidential slot of the All Progressives Congress (APC), against earlier reports that he was not interested in the race.

Reports also claim that this new development came to being after APC leaders were unable to settle for a vice president after General Buhari’s win, thus the announcement of his victory proceeded without a running mate beside him.
