Former governors of Osun state and Abia state, Engineer Rauf Aregbesola and Uzor Kalu have been dropped from the new Presidential Campaign Council list of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, released on Wednesday.
The ruling APC on Wednesday released a new list of its presidential campaign council following the disagreement that marred the earlier released list in September.
Notable among those dropped, included, a former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, who has been dropped from the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Also dropped are a former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, and that of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, as well as Kassim Afegbua, a former commissioner for information in Edo State
Recall that Aregbesola, Nnamani and a few others were listed in the first PPC list.
However, conspicuously missing were the trio of Vice President Osinbajo, former SGF, Banachir Lawal and a former House of Representatives, Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.
But in a letter signed by the APC chairman, Adamu Abdullahi had rejected the first 422 lists, with reports claiming that the action was to pacify and factor in the interest of some bigwigs in the party.
Uzor Kalu, who is the Senate chief whip, has been replaced by the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Ikechi Emenike, who by the development emerged as the sole Tinubu Campaign Coordinator for Abia.
Afegbua who was included in the initial list as secretary of the public affairs directorate has been replaced by Gideon Obakahan.
