Ahead of the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the party screened all the aspirants for the different states of the federation.
Those who scaled through were cleared while others were disqualified.
However, the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Yekini Nabena, in a statement said some omissions were made in the list earlier released showing those cleared.
Said he: “Kaduna and Kano states were erroneously omitted from the previously released list. Also, the name of a cleared governorship aspirant from Ogun State (South West) was misrepresented in the previous list. The correct name is Hon. Bimbo Ashiru as reflected in this corrected list.”
The addition to the orginal list is shown below:
