Umahi Wins APC Senatorial Ticket After Losing Presidential Primary

The Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has won the Ebonyi South senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress.

Umahi won the senatorial ticket of the APC in the re-run primary.

This is coming after Umahi lost in the presidential primary of the ruling party which was won by the party’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu.

The governor’s younger brother, Austin Umahi two weeks ago won the senatorial ticket of the ruling party.

However, after the Ebonyi State Governor lost the presidential ticket of the party, APC cancelled the primary election held last week and rescheduled it for Thursday night.

Naija News gathered that Umahi won the APC’s ticket in the rescheduled primary election, held at the Afikpo North Local Government Council.

In other news, the presidential candidate of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu in the early hours of Thursday visited Umahi.

The visit of the former Governor of Lagos State is coming after he visited Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo in Abuja.

Tinubu’s visit to Ebonyi State Governor is part of his move to reconcile all presidential aspirants who lost to him in the just concluded presidential primary of the ruling party.
