A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Gulak has been shot dead by gunmen in Imo state.
The former aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was shot dead by gunmen while returning to Abuja from Owerri, Imo state capital.
Gulak once declared himself as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the party’s leadership crisis in January 2016.
The late politician was chairman of the APC committee that conducted the primaries for Imo governorship election.
He had been declared missing after arriving in the state to supervise the exercise in October 2018.
He later said he was “kidnapped” alongside members of the panel, and that he was offered $2 million to influence the outcome of the primaries.
He had also alleged that Rochas Okorocha, then-governor of Imo state, forced members of the electoral panel to declare Uche Nwosu, his favourite candidate, as the winner of the primary.
The APC national working committee (NWC) eventually cancelled the exercise after Nwosu was announced the winner.
