The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Abdullahi Ganduje has disowned a governorship campaign council list involving the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Naija News had earlier reported that the former Governor of Rivers State and several others made the campaign list.
The party spokesman, Felix Morka in a statement released on Tuesday night, however, distanced the party from the list in circulation.
According to Morka, the list is not an official document of the ruling party.
He wrote, “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.”
In the earlier list, Gombe state Governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya was named to chair the Bayelsa Campaign Council; Cross River state Governor, Bassey Otu will chair the 138-member Imo Campaign Council while Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state will chair a 135-member council for Kogi.
The three Co-Chairmen for Kogi are Govs. Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); Umar Bago (Niger) and Uba Sani (Kaduna).
Imo has Ebonyi state Governor, Francis Nwifuru; Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu and Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha as Co-Chairmen.
