The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has chosen Senator Monday Okpebholo as the party’s candidate for Edo governor, according to party chieftain Kassim Afegbua.

According to the previous Edo State Commissioner for Information, there was never a primary election for governorship that produced Okpebholo.

Remember that the APC national leadership canceled the first primary, which had three victors, and removed Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma from her position as chairman of the election committee.

In the All Progressives Congress (APC) rescheduled primary on Thursday, Okpebholo received 12, 433 votes, making him the victorious candidate over 11 other contenders.

Afegbua claimed in a Friday interview with TheCable that Okpebholo was personally chosen by the APC National Chairman.
