Curiously the PDP’s prefered candidate, Tony Nwoye was dropped. Also missing was Andy Uba.
Nicholas Ukachukwu was named the PDP’s authentic candidate sequel to a court pronouncement which said he was the authentic candidate.
A release issued by INEC’s spokesperson, Kayode Idowu stated that 23 candidates would participate in the elections slated for November 2013.
