Confusion as Buhari names Jonathan’s man as APC senatorial aspirant

There is confusion in the Bayelsa State chapters of both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over President Muhammadu Buhari’s congratulatory message to a PDP chieftain in the state, Ambassador Godknows Igali, on his 60th birthday.

President Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Monday, described Igali as APC senatorial aspirant in the forthcoming Bayelsa central by-election.

Ambassador Igali, a former diplomat and Federal Permanent Secretary, was a governorship aspirant during the last year governorship election in Bayelsa State on the platform of PDP.

Daily Trust reports that Igali belongs to the camp of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Bayelsa State PDP. (Daily Trust)
