Meanwhile, after his defeat in the September 19 governorship election in Edo state, the APC's candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has made a first public appearance.
Ize-Iyamu had a closed-door meeting with the chairman of the APC caretaker committee and governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, on Wednesday, September 23, in Abuja.
In another report, the former APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has finally broken his silence.
The former Edo state governor said he was moved to tears during the election when he saw elderly women who were determined to cast their ballot despite some hitches in the process.
He said rather than get frustrated over how malfunctioning card readers slowed down the process, the people waited patiently.
