This development follows the party’s denial on Tuesday of the authenticity of earlier documents circulating in the media, which contained names of notable individuals assigned to campaign councils for Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi States.

The updated document, issued on Wednesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, designates Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos as the chairman of the Kogi campaign team.

Assisting him in this role are Governors Mohammed Bago of Niger and Sani Uba of Kaduna, who have been chosen as co-chairmen of the campaign council.

The 191-member campaign council for Kogi State is further enriched by the participation of prominent figures including Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the APC; Yahaya Bello, the incumbent governor of Kogi State; David Umahi, the Minister of Works; and Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence.
