controversy surrounding the party's governorship 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, confirmed this to our
correspondent on the phone.
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 ticketof the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), where he had been very visible in confronting
opposition parties.
