Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu has made a demand on the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidates for the November 11 election.<\/p>\n

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, would conduct governorship election in Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo states on November 11.<\/p>\n

While Timipre Sylva is representing APC in Bayelsa State, Governor Hope Uzodinma is the party\u2019s flagbearer in Imo State. Usman Ododo is APC\u2019s candidate in Kogi State.<\/p>\n

However, Tinubu appealed to the APC candidates to ensure the November 11 governorship election is free, fair and credible.<\/p>\n

The President spoke on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

According to Tinubu: \u201cAll I am pleading for is for free and fair election. I believe we will do well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President expressed optimism about the party\u2019s chances at the off-cycle election.<\/p>\n
