All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday disowned campaign council lists it earlier reportedly released ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship polls in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo states.
“The lists are not official documents of the party,” said APC spokesman, Felix Morka, in a statement late Tuesday.
The disowned lists was allegedly signed by National Organising Secretary of the party, Sulaimon Argungu.
The campaign list for Bayelsa prominently featured ex-Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, as a member. Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is a member of the G5, a protesting group of five Governors within the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Interestingly, the PDP had earlier in August listed Wike as a member of the party’s campaign council for the Bayelsa governorship poll.
While APC fields ex-Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, as candidate, Governor Douye Diri of the PDP is seeking re-election.
