The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared Senator Margery Okadigbo to contest the party’s primary for Anambra North Senatorial District.
This was contained in a statement signed by the acting National Publicity Secretary of APC, Yekini Nabena, in Abuja on Wednesday.
The aspirant is the widow of former Senate President, the late Chuba Okadigbo, who was President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate during the 2003 Presidential elections.
She represented Anambra North in the 7th National Assembly on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mrs Okadigbo lost out in the PDP senatorial primary in 2014 to Senator Stella Oduah, therefore missed returning to the Senate in 2015.
She defected to the APC last month.
