Former Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Uba Maigari, who’s the chairman of the ward congress committee in Borno State, performed the process through a voice vote with the candidates unanimously voted.

He told the party faithful that: “We’re here on the behest of the national caretaker committee of the party alongside INEC officials to ensure a free and fair ward congress. As Borno APC stakeholders have already agreed on consensus, we’re conducting it that way.”

The caretaker chairman of the APC in Borno, Ali Bukar Dalori, who accompanied the Governor to Mafa, commended party faithful.
