APC Screens Presidential Aspirants Ahead Of Primary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the screening of presidential hopefuls seeking to fly the party’s flag in the 2023 general elections.

The exercise is being conducted secretly at a popular hotel in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu; the party’s National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and other party leaders are already at the venue of the exercise, Channels Television can confirm.

Former Ogun State governor and the lawmaker representing Ogun Central senatorial district, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, who is also seeking to contest the presidential election on the APC platform, is among those who have arrived at the venue for the exercise.

Meanwhile, a source told Channels Television that the APC Presidential Screening Committee is led by Mr John Oyegun, a former Edo State governor and former national chairman of the party.

More than 20 party faithful comprising serving members of the President’s cabinet, governors, lawmakers, and business leaders, among others have picked the APC presidential nomination and expression of interest forms sold at N100 million.

While the presidential hopefuls paid for the forms themselves in some cases, various interest groups purchased the nomination tickets for their preferred aspirants – a move that was rejected by some of the beneficiaries.

Among those who have publicly rejected the APC nomination and expression of interest forms purchased for them included the former President Goodluck Jonathan and the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi Adesina.
