The All Progressives Congress has shifted its governorship primary elections in Lagos and Imo states to Monday.
National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, said that the primaries earlier scheduled to hold on Sunday were shifted in both states for logistic reasons.
He said this in Abuja on Saturday while inaugurating the 21-member National Convention Committee headed by the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi.
The two states are scheduled to hold direct primaries to select the governorship candidate of the party.
In Lagos, two aspirants, incumbent Akinwunmi Ambode and Babajide Sanwo-Olu are left in the race, after the third aspirant, Obafemi Hamzat withdrew for Sanwo-Olu.
In Imo, nine aspirants are in the race. They are Senator Hope Uzodinma, Uche Nwosu being backed by Governor Rochas Okorocha, deputy governor Prince Eze Madumere, Sir Jude Ejiogu and Barr. Chima Anozie.
Others are Dr. Chris Emenike Nlemoha, Sir Eche George Ezenna, Chukwudi Celestine Ololo and Air Commodore Peter Gbujie.
