Lagos APC Primary: At last, NWC endorses result of Lagos governorship primaries

The Chairman of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) sent to Lagos to observe the governorship primaries, Clement Ebri has endorsed the result of the primaries held on Tuesday.

Ebri had late on Tuesday cancelled the primaries saying there was no primary election in the state.

But after consultation with the National Chairman of the party Adams Oshiomhole in Abuja, Ebri was told to accept the results.

This happened after Oshiomhole contacted President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja over the situation in Lagos.

Ebri, it was learnt, signed the result of the election won by Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, some hours ago.

Sanwo-Olu won the primary with 970,851 votes while Governor Akinwunmi Ambode got 72,901 votes.
