— Says Only Gov Uzodinma Is Authorized To Declare The Result
The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has issued a disclaimer to what is said is an unauthorized announcement on national television stations of the result of the Edo State gubernatorial primary election held in Benin City.
Contradictory reports from Binin seem to suggest that two different names were announced as candidate of the party.
