THE National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Oye, has revealed that the party has engaged in prayers to seek divine guidance in the choice of the standard bearer for the Anambra State Governorship Election, scheduled for November 6, 2021.
Oye said this while speaking to journalists, in Amawbia, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State on Sunday.
He said, “We follow the INEC timetable. INEC said from June10 to July 3, you should be able to conduct your primaries and produce a candidate and that is what we are going to work with. Every other thing is speculation.
A chieftain of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Abdullah Shinkafi says some politicians in Zamfara State offered about 57 million naira to bandits, asking them not to release the Jangebe abducted girls.
According to Shinkafi, the offer was a ploy to sabotage the peace accord championed by Governor Bello Matawalle, as to rubbish the governor’s efforts and to take-over power at all cost, come 2023.
Shinkafi who made the allegation during a press briefing on Monday said they have suspected there is a conspiracy in the entire Jangebe incident, stressing that some politicians from the opposition had been making calls and moves to frustrate the rescue operation.

– Emmanuel Macron, the President of France.
Last Thursday, February 25, 2021, I was one of the two panelists on Politics Nationwide, a network programme of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria.
