Out of the total 23 aspirants screened by the 7-member committee, only 13 were cleared. Following the development, the 10 disqualified aspirants will no longer partake in the party’s primaries scheduled to hold next week, between June 6 to 8th.
This new development was disclosed on Friday, June 3, by Mr John Oyegun, the Chairman of the APC Screening Committee.
