The APC has fixed September 27 for primary elections to elect candidates for the senatorial poll in 2019.

The Cable reports that Mohammed Sabo, a member of the APC, is the current senator representing Jigawa west at the upper legislative chamber.

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan sacked Abba in April 2015 after the general election for allegedly working for the APC.
