Wife of former Senate president, Senator Margery Okadigbo, has been cleared by the National Working Committee of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to contest at the Party’s senatorial primaries.
The APC revealed this in a statement signed by its Acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, on Wednesday.
Mrs. Okadigbo, who represented Anambra North in the 7th National Assembly on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), lost out in the PDP senatorial primary in 2015. She had later joined the APC in September to continue her political voyage.
