The All Progressive Grand
Alliance (APGA) has said that the controversy surrounding the party’s
goverorship candidate in nasarawa State has been resolved as the name of
immediate past Information Minister, Labaran Maku has been submitted and
accepted by INEC.
The party’s National Chairman,
Mr Victor Umeh has confirmed the situation.
He stated categorically, “Mr Labaran Maku is our governorship candidate
in Nasarawa State. We have submitted his name and same has been accepted by
INEC.
“There is no question about the
party’s governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, Maku’s name has been accepted
by the party and INEC.”
There was some drama a week
before, over who would fly the party’s flag in Nasarawa State, when news of Mr
Maku emerging as APGA candidate broke.
The controversy stemmed from the
claim by Mr Matthew Unbugaku who reportedly claimed the ticket.
The coast seems clear for Mr Labaran
Maku to run for governor on the platform of APGA, after failing to secure the
ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he had been very visible
in confronting opposition parties.
