The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), has settled the dust over the party\u2019s Nasarawa-North senatorial candidate, as its national leadership has written in reply of INEC\u2019s request, reaffirming the candidature of former FCT Minister of state, Barrister Solomon Ewuga.<\/p>\n

But Dr. Musa Nagogo, a foundation member of the party, is still in court, seeking to be declared the candidate as he is alleging that Ewuga did not participate in the primary election. He was also quoted on the state owned broadcast station, NBS, saying that he has been recognized by INEC as the candidate, and is going to participate in the general election.<\/p>\n

A photocopy of a letter made available to Daily Trust by the CPC chairman in the state Haruna Hamisu, and dated March 8, to the INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, titled \u201cRe:Solomon Ewuga, Confirmation of Candidature\u201d, stated in part: \u201cwe write to confirm the candidature of Solomon Ewuga as our candidate for Nasarawa-North Senatorial District.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter jointly signed by the National Chairman, Tony Momoh, and the National Secretary, Buba Galadima and copied four relevant officers, raised issues with INEC over an error, saying \u201cthe schedule submitted to your office showed the name of some other persons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our hope that this error will be corrected in all your records and the said Solomon Ewuga is inserted as the\u00a0 authentic candidate for Nasarawa-North Senatorial District\u201d, the letter said in part.<\/p>\n

Ewuga who spoke to Daily Trust, yesterday, said:\u201cIf CPC has confirmed my candidature, why would anybody be going around to claim that INEC recognized him as the candidate? If Nagogo recognizes the powers of INEC to make him a candidate, and not the CPC, why did he go to court, where he is still asking to be declared candidate by the CPC? \u201d<\/p>\n
