By Jonathan Ugbal

The National Chairman of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore has presented the party’s flag to its candidate for the October 31, 2020 senatorial bye-election in Northern Cross River, Dr. Dino Magam.

The presentation was done in Abuja shortly after the party submitted Magam’s details to the Independent National Electoral Commission as it’s candidate for the elections.

Magam emerged the party’s flag bearer by consensus as he was the only to pick the nomination and expression of interest form.

He will square off with candidates of other parties in the bye-election occasioned by the death of Senator Rose Oko.
