A former Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, has emerged as the Labour Party consensus candidate for Nasarawa North Senatorial District by-election slated for June 20.
The Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Asogwa said the primary election held at the party’s zonal office in Nasarawa North attracted a large turnout of party faithful who affirmed Maku’s candidacy for the by-election.
He revealed that a seasoned diplomat, Amb. Simon Eze, emerged as the party’s candidate for Enugu North Senatorial District by-election through a peaceful and rancour-free consensus process.

Asogwa listed other candidates who emerged through the same consensus process to include Mr. Sam Kinanee (Rivers South-East) and Mr. Ige Asemudara (Ondo South).
He said Abubakar Muhammad (Dawaki Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency of Kano State) and Muhammad Galadima (Zuru State Constituency of Kebbi State) also emerged through a consensus arrangement.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the seats for Enugu North, Nasarawa North and Rivers South-East senatorial districts became vacant, following the death of the senators representing the three districts.
