Despite protest by some chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the recently released 422-member Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), the party has insisted that no name was left out of the list.

“No name is left out of the lists,” Bayo Onanuga, a council spokesperson, said in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

He said the list contained only the directors, deputy directors, secretaries of directorates and other key stakeholders.

“Some of the nominees of our governors have emerged as part of the leadership, while others will soon emerge as members of the various directories,” he said.

Leaders and stakeholders of the APC from Kwara South had protested the alleged exclusion of zone members from the lengthy list.

Similarly, the APC in Ghana had also faulted the party’s list, insisting that it should be inclusive of a member from each of the diaspora chapters.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who also contested the presidential primaries alongside the party’s flag bearer, Bola Tinubu, was not included in the list.
