Dimeji Bankole, a former speaker of the house of
representatives, has obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential
expression of interest and nomination forms.
The former speaker obtained the forms worth N100 million
through Aliyu Shinkafi, a former governor of Zamfara.
The former governor led a delegation to the International
Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja where the forms were obtained.
In 2019, Bankole contested as the governorship candidate of
the Action Democratic Party (ADP).
He, however, joined the APC in March 2021.
The former speaker has joined the long list of hopefuls
seeking to clinch the party’s presidential ticket ahead of the 2023 polls.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, former Lagos
governor; Rotimi Amaechi, transportation minister; Tunde Bakare, the serving
overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church; and Ken Nnamani, a former
president of the senate, are among those who have picked the ruling party’s
nomination forms.
Also, three support groups backing Godwin Emefiele, governor
of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), have purchased the forms for him.
The party’s presidential primary is scheduled to hold
between May 30 and June 1.
