Oshiomhole declares APC Chairmanship bid

Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, today announced that he would declare his bid for the national chairmanship of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Thursday.


He told journalists in Benin City that President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, would join top members of the party at the occasion.

Mr Oshiomhole said that Imo Governor, Rochas Okorocha, would lead governors elected on the party’s platform to the declaration which would hold at TRANSCORP Hilton.

The former governor is favoured to replace outgoing chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, after he received the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari.
