2023: See Full List As APC Submits Senatorial Candidates’ Names To INEC

• APC has submitted senatorial candidates’ names to INEC. 

THE NATION REPORTERS reports that the All Progressive Congress on Friday submitted the list of all senatorial candidates in the party to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

There were controversies around some names of candidates who contested the presidential elections like the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, the Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, and the former Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Godswill Akpabio, whose names resurfaced on the senatorial list they didn’t contest for.

It was reported that the Yobe North senatorial candidate of the APC, Bahir Machina, has threatened to seek redress in the court as he claimed to have been illegally delisted by the party.

Nothing has been heard of others whose names were substituted for Umahi and Akpabio.
