The National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled a fresh list consisting of a 191-member council, tasked with spearheading the national governorship campaign for the forthcoming Kogi State election set for November 11.
The disclosure was made through a statement released on Wednesday night in Abuja by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Arugungu.
This development follows the party’s denial on Tuesday regarding the authenticity of previous documents containing prominent names of chairmen, co-chairmen, and members of campaign councils for states such as Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi that had circulated widely in the media.
