Months after having a back-and-forth public squabble with his Deputy, Simon Achuba, governor Yahaya Bello has picked Edward Onoja as his running mate for the November 16 governorship election.
The Kogi State Governor reportedly submitted Onoja’s name to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress during his trip to Abuja last week.
The governor’s aide said “The chief of staff is the running mate of His Excellency in the forthcoming election. An official announcement would be made soon. Mr Onoja’s name was submitted to the national working committee of the party when His Excellency visited the party headquarters on Thursday.”
