The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released the list of committees to manage primary elections to fill vacancies in the national and state assemblies.
The party, on Wednesday, released the primary election committees, primary election appeal committees and secretariat committees to manage the primaries across nine states ahead of the 3 February bye-elections.
The states are Lagos, Ondo, Kebbi, Taraba, Yobe, Benue, Kaduna, Ebonyi and Borno.
Most of the vacancies occurred due to appointments of the members of the National Assembly into executive positions.

They are the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, Minister of Police Affairs, Ibrahim Gaidam, Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and the Minister of State for Education, Tanko Sununu.
Messrs Umahi and Gaidam represented Ebonyi South and Yobe East in the Senate before their appointments, while Mr Gbajabiamila was in the House as the legislator representing Surulere I Federal Constituency of Lagos State.
Also, Messrs Sununu and Tunji-Ojo were in the House before their appointments as ministers.
The former represented Yauri/Shanga/Ngaski Federal Constituency of Kebbi State and the latter represented Akoko North-east/Akoko North-west Federal Constituency of Ondo State.

Furthermore, there are vacancies in state assemblies in Kaduna, Benue and Borno states.
