The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released the final list of its anointed governorship candidates, which includes Prince Dapo Abiodun for Ogun State and Great Ogboru for Delta.
Twenty-two other governorship candidates were also cleared to fly the party’s flag in the 2019 election.
The clearance of Abiodun is a major blow to Governor Ibikunle Amosun, who supports Abdulkabir Akinlade, a member of the House of Representatives.
