As the date for the rescheduled Presidential Primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC, draws close, the Presidential Screening Committee has announced the disqualification of Ten Aspirants.
The Chairman of the Presidential Screening Committee and the former National Chairman of APC, Chief John Oyegun disclosed this on Friday in Abuja when he submitted the committee’s report to the party.
The aspirants that were disqualified have not been made known, but the disqualification of 10 Aspirants from the contest is a rude shock to many. Recall that Twenty three Aspirants had paid N100million each to purchase the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms, in readiness to participate in the Primaries scheduled to hold between June 6th and 8th.
While the controversy on where the Presidential candidate would emerge from attain fever pitch, this news might further heighten the tension mounting in the party as regards who would eventually emerge as the possible successor of the leader of the party and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
