Okorocha And Tinubu Set To Clash Over Ministerial Nomination

The covert crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) may take a new dimension following the seeming ploy by the former Lagos State Governor,
Bola Tinubu, to nominate the former chairman of Nigerian Breweries Plc, Chief Festus Odumegwu, as a ministerial candidate in the President Muhammadu Buhari cabinet. The move, THISDAY gathered, is unsettling the Imo State c, who prides himself as the leader of the APC in the South-east, seeing his supposed leadership of the party in the South-east as being eroded. A source who confided in THISDAY yesterday said: “Already, the former Lagos State governor, who is popularly called the National Leader of the APC has taken Odumegwu to the president.”
