APC Primary: Tinubu, Nwajiuba, Badaru, Ohanenye, Bakare, Borroffice screened
After weeks of sluggish preparations for its presidential convention, things appeared to have picked up for the ruling All Progressives Congress APC as it finally began screening its presidential aspirants on Monday.
The party which had continued to maintain utmost secrecy regarding the exercise also barred journalists from the venue.
Chairman of the screening panel and former National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun did not immediately respond to Vanguard’s inquiries regarding the activities of his team.
The development came as a former Governor of Borno state and chieftain of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff denounced those who have launched a presidential campaign for him by placing his posters in strategic points across the nation’s capital.
Also, former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu was on Monday at the national secretariat of the APC where he had a closed door session with its National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
Although he did not speak to journalists, Ekweremadu’s visit to the ruling party’s national chairman on Monday has fueled defection rumours following his loss in recent Peoples Democratic Party PDP governorship primary election in Enugu state.
