Nigeria’s ruling APC has exploded into one of its fiercest internal political battles in years after explosive Senate primaries delivered massive victories for powerful governors while top political heavyweights were pushed out in dramatic fashion.
Former Delta Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, Ogun Governor Dapo Abiodun, and Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma tightened their grip on Nigeria’s political future after securing crucial Senate tickets in contests already sending shockwaves across the country’s power circles.
In a stunning twist, influential figures including Senator Ned Nwoko, former Gombe Governor Danjuma Goje, and several established political gladiators crashed out despite commanding enormous influence and political machinery.
