APC to conduct fresh primary in Kogi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that it will conduct a fresh primary election in Kogi state to pick a replacement for Abubakar Audu.

Audu, who passed away on Sunday, was the party’s candidate in the November 21 governorship election.

Speaking with journalists at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, John Oyegun, chairman of APC, said the decision to hold a fresh primary was taken after the party received a letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) asking it to replace Audu.
