Lagos APC Primary: Oshiomhole overrules NWC panel, upholds Sanwo-Olu's victory

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole has overruled the decision of the Clement Ebri-led National Working Committee (NWC) to nullify the governorship primaries held on Tuesday in Lagos state.

The APC national chairman said the decision to uphold the primaries became imperative after consultation with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.

Oshiomhole’s decision has effectively foreclosed the holding of a fresh primary in the state on Wednesday as announced by the chairman of the NWC on Lagos governorship primaries, Chief Clement Ebri.
