Keyamo emerges consensus APC candidate for Delta Central senatorial bye-election

By DAPO AKINREFON

….It’s a lie —Emerhor

Rights activist,  Mr Festus Keyamo, has emerged the consensus candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, to contest the Delta Central senatorial bye-election.

In a communique, APC leader in Ethiope West Local Government Area, Chief Victor Sota, noted that as owners of the party, their decision to adopt Keyamo as a consensus candidate was binding on members of the legacy parties in Delta Central.

But reacting, one of the aspirants, Mr. Otega Emerhor, told Vanguard that APC in Delta State had not adopted any candidate.

He said: “Keyamo only assembled his supporters in his house in the name of legacy parties and thereafter, claimed their endorsement. APC is still setting up structures that will lead to the emergence of a candidate. This attempt to create division in Delta APC has been brought to the attention of APC party hierarchy.”
