10 APC Presidential Aspirants Disqualified

At least ten of the 23 Presidential aspirants of the All Progressives Congress has been disqualified.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of the presidential screening Committee, John Oyegun, in Abuja.

The Party’s Presidential primary is scheduled for next week.

While presenting a report of his committee to the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu on Friday, Oyegun said;

“First, we have 23 aspirants that we interacted with and my first comment is that we are indeed a lucky party. The point I want to make is the quality of the people that want to govern this country,” Oyegun said.

“We are a governing party and so the ability to lead, the background, experience… it is on the basis that we made a shortlist. I won’t want to read the names, I’d leave that to you, but we brought the number down to 13.

“We could have cut it a little shorter but we wanted the younger elements to surface.”

According to Mr Oyegun, only 13 out of the 23 aspirants screened were cleared by the committee.
