A presidential aspirant, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has announced his withdrawal from the primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to support his co-contender in the race, Bola Tinubu.
Senator Akpabio, who recently resigned his appointment as the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, announced his withdrawal on Tuesday in Abuja.
He explained that he took the decision to step down for the APC chieftain in the interest of the party and the nation, and asked his supporters to pitch their tents with the former Lagos State governor.
The former minister was addressing a crowd of APC faithful comprising party leaders, delegates, and other supporters at the Eagle Square, the venue of the presidential convention in the nation’s capital.
Ibikunle Amosun has also stepped down from the 2023 Presidential race for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying he did so in the spirit of consensus as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
