Former DSS Director-General Lawal Daura has been chosen as the running mate for Governor Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). This decision came after Bala Adamu Ibrahim, the initial vice-presidential candidate, resigned from the ticket citing personal reasons. Ibrahim formally resigned in a letter dated August 5, addressed to the APM National Chairman.
The party's leadership announced Daura as the new running mate during the APM's Elective National Convention in Bauchi last Thursday. The resignation letter stated that Ibrahim withdrew his candidacy voluntarily, without any coercion, influence, or inducement. Ibrahim thanked the party for the opportunity and wished the APM well in the upcoming elections.
