APC Postpones Lagos, Imo Governorship Primaries To Monday
By
The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its governorship primaries in Lagos and Imo States to Monday, October 1.
The primaries would, however, still hold in all other states.
The development comes amidst stiff contest for the party’s governorship ticket between incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and Jide Sanwo-Olu.

Barely 24 hours to the primaries, 36 of the 40-member Lagos State House of Assembly, endorsed Sanwo-Olu as their candidate.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Strategy and Security, Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, in a statement, said the decision was taken at a parliamentary meeting of the lawmakers on Saturday.
“The lawmakers stated that they were in agreement with the leadership of the party and the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) which had earlier endorsed Sanwo-Olu for the governorship ticket,” the statement read.
Four members of the House, however, did not sign the endorsement.
