In Lagos, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is fighting for his political future after being abandoned by his godfather, Bola Tinubu, and other APC leaders in the state,

According to two statements Monday morning by its spokesperson, Yekini Nabena, the ruling party also postponed primaries in at least six other states.

“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rescheduled governorship primaries in the Lagos, Enugu and Adamawa states,” Mr Nabena said in one statement.

The party also noted that the mode of primaries for Enugu and Adamawa states has also been changed from indirect to direct primaries.

Many of the aspirants in Adamawa had demanded direct primaries with only Governor Bindow Jibrilla and his supporters demanding indirect primaries.

The Lagos primaries will now be held on October 2, while that of Enugu and Adamawa will be held on October 4.

In an earlier statement Monday morning, the APC announced new dates for its governorship primaries in Ogun, Zamfara, Bauchi and Abia states.
