Progressives Congress (APC), on Wednesday, adopted Senator
Chris Ngige as its flag-bearer in the Anambra State governorship election
scheduled to take place in November.
The adoption
was followed with the raising up of Ngige’s hand by the Interim National
Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, at the first interactive meeting of
the elders and leaders of the party which took place at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja.
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
State, who announced the name of the serving senator as the preferred APC
candidate ahead of Mr Ani Okonkwo, said the adoption was a fallout of an
inclusive meeting of the party leaders in state.
Also congratulating Ngige, another
chieftain of the party, Chief Tom Ikimi, said he had always assured the senator
that he would once again govern Anambra State and advised Okonkwo to patiently
wait for his turn.
The meeting also witnessed the
inauguration of the party’s Interim Executive Committee (IEC), headed by Chief
Bisi Akande.
