The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has met with APC Governors ahead of this Saturday’s governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections.

The closed-door meeting which took place at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, also had in attendance APC guber candidates, including Deputy Senate President and APC flag-bearer in Delta, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.

Members of the National Working Committee (NWC) were also at the  meeting.

APC which currently controls 22 states in the country, won the February 25 presidential poll as declared by INEC. Albeit the party lost grounds in many states as it was only able to win 12 states. For instance, strategic states like Lagos, Kano and Kaduna fell into the hands of opposition parties.

The New Diplomat learnt that strategies that would enable the party have a strong showing this Saturday dominated the meeting agenda Tuesday.

“The chairman (Adamu) was concerned that there were still issues in some states and that some bigwigs were reportedly campaigning for candidates of other parties”, one source said.

“He specifically said some states do not have money for the election and that some of the candidates were not well funded. In some states, money has been approved, but they cannot access it yet. These were some of the challenges highlighted by the national chairman.”

Governors of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu; Jigawa, Abubakar Badaru; and Zamfara, Bello Matawalle were at the meeting.

National Secretary of the APC, Iyiola Omisore; Delta APC Governorship candidate, Senator Omo-Agege; APC governorship candidate in Rivers State, Tonye Cole; Abubakar Sadiq, former Chief of Air Staff, who is the APC guber candidate in Bauchi, were among key APC figures who attended the meeting.
