The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Abdullahi Adamu has upturned the report of the Presidential Screening Committee (PSC) that disqualified 10 out of the 23 aspirants jostling for the party’s presidential ticket.
Gatekeepers News reports that Adamu while addressing journalists said the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party has not disqualified any of the 23 aspirants that appeared before the John Odigie Oyegun-led PSC.
Adamu said: “I want to say very clearly that no aspirant has.been disqualified. It’s like sitting in an exam. Even if you pass there is grading from first class to ordinary pass. So no aspirant was disqualified. Incidentally the pyresident has invited all of them to a dinner today.”
APC National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barr. Felix Morka also corroborated him.
He insisted that the Oyegun panel report was not binding on the NWC
Morka said: “The screening panel only made recommendations to us to prune down our list. But that isn’t binding on us. We gave them an assignment and they have delivered. We would now sit down and take a position on what they submitted to us.
“The party had not disqualified anybody. Or have you heard from the party that any of the aspirants was disqualified?”
