Rivers APC adopts AAC gov candidate for Saturday’s poll | Nairalaw

The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has adopted the
governorship candidate of the African Action Congress, Awara
Biokpomabo, for the March 9th governorship election in the
state.

The State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Chris Finebone,
confirmed this in a voice message made available to our
correspondent in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

Biokpomabo is from the ancient kingdom of Kula in Akuku Toru
Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Recall that the APC in Rivers State will not field any candidate
in the governorship election following a Federal High Court
judgement that ordered the Independent National Electoral
Commission to remove the party from the ballot.

It was gathered that the decision to back the AAC governorship
candidate was taken after a meeting led by the leader of the APC in
the state, Rotimi Amaechi.
