- By Bertram Nwannekanm­a

T HENational Working Committee ( NWC) of the All Progressiv­es Grand Alliance ( APGA) has cleared Abia State governorsh­ip aspirant, Etigwe Uwa, to run in the primary of the party.

The decision was taken, on Wednesday, after a meeting of the committee to consider the outcome of the Presidenti­al/ Governorsh­ip Screening Appeal Panel pursuant to Article 17( 2) of APGA Electoral Guidelines for the 2022 Primary Election.

The Administra­tive Secretary of the party, Mrs. Nwabueze Ugomma, in a statement obtained by The Guardian, yesterday, said, the final list comprising all governorsh­ip aspirants will be published shortly before the governorsh­ip primary election.

Recall that Uwa had protested his disqualifi­cation from the governorsh­ip primary by the state screening committee on the grounds that he was not a member of APGA.
