“I am pleased to announce that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has successfully achieved a 100% upload of all our 56 Governorship and Deputy Governorship, and 1,015 State House of Assembly candidates on the INEC Candidate Nomination Portal,” Yilwatda said.

According to him, the successful completion of the exercise underscored the party’s readiness for the next phase of the electoral process.
