BREAKING: Aftermath of mass defection: Niger governor Bago moves to pacify aggrieved party members

In what appeared to be a desperate political move, Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has convened an emergency stakeholders’ meeting with a view to pacifying aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who lost out during the just-concluded party primaries.

The meeting was held at the Government House in Minna and had in attendance a majority of the aspirants who lost out in the consensus arrangements adopted by the party to pick candidates for the forthcoming general elections.

It could be recalled that some aggrieved members, especially National Assembly and State Assembly aspirants of the party who lost out, had met in Abuja last week with a view to taking a position, having expressed dissatisfaction over the outcome of the primaries.Clicking Here.
