The All Progressives Congress (APC) members who turned out in their wards in Kogi state on Friday simply affirmed President Muhammadu Buhari as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2019 general election.
At some of the wards visited in Lokoja, the state capital, our correspondent observed that there were no voting and no register of party members displayed.
