The All Progressives Congress (APC) has barred Senator Ipalibo Banigo, who represents Rivers West, from contesting in the party’s senatorial primary election set for Monday. In addition to Banigo, three other candidates—former Rivers State Secretary to the Government Tammy Wenike Danagogo, Ojukaye Flag Amachree, and businessman Tein Jack-Rich—have also been disqualified.
Conversely, the APC has given the green light to Senator Allwell Onyesoh of Rivers East, along with Felix Obua, Barry Mwara, and Osarosaka Ebenezer, to proceed in the primaries.
Chibuike Ikenga, the party’s Publicity Secretary in Rivers State, announced this in a statement on Sunday, urging all aspirants and members to acknowledge the updates and adhere accordingly.
