APC Elects Oyegun As Chair, Returns Lai Mohammed As Spokesman

John Oyegun, a former governor of Edo State, was elected the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Friday at the party’s National Convention held in Abuja. Oyegun contested the position unopposed after a former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, some minutes before voting, announced that he was stepping down for his opponent.

Oyegun takes over the mantle of leadership of APC from Bisi Akande.

Also, former Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni was elected as the Deputy National Chairman (South) of APC, while an ex-National Secretary of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Lawal Shuaibu, became the Deputy National Chairman (North).

Mai Mala Buni from Yobe State was elected as the new National Secretary of APC, while the Interim National Publicity Secretary of the party, Lai Mohammed, was returned as the substantive spokesman of APC. He clinched the position unopposed.
