The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the mode of primaries for Saturday, September 29th, 2018 governorship primary elections.
The elections are scheduled to hold across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According a statement by Acting National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Mr. Yekini Nabena, it was also noted that Adamawa State NWC would not participate in the exercise which would hold in the state.
“The National Working Committee (NWC) has banned the Adamawa State Working Committee from participating either as delegates or superintendents over the governorship primaries holding in the State. This is due to the fact that the Adamawa State Working Committee was prejudiced in favour of a governorship aspirant.”
