The All Progressives Congress (APC) postpones governorship primaries in Kwara and Bauchi while proceeding with candidate selection in other states. APC spokesperson Felix Morka says the delay is approved by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) after consultations with relevant stakeholders. At the same time, the APC unveils 25 governorship candidates across 25 states, indicating that the party’s candidate emergence continues in states where the process reaches consensus. Reports describe the Kwara and Bauchi postponements as linked to difficulties reaching consensus during the primaries, rather than a cancellation of the process. The party’s decision leaves the two affected states without final APC governorship candidates at the time of the announcement, while other states move forward with the newly identified nominees. The postponement is framed as part of internal party consultations and deliberations ahead of elections, with the APC signalling that further timelines will follow after the additional steps are completed in Kwara and Bauchi.
