‘Real reason APC shelved screening of presidential aspirants’
The All Progressives Congress in a surprising move on Sunday said it had postponed the screening exercise for presidential aspirants under its banner.
The terse release signed by Bar. Felix Morka, the party’s national publicity secretary, stated that “a new date for the exercise will be announced shortly.”
A report has claimed to have exclusive knowledge of what led the ruling party to shift the highly anticipated exercise.
THEWILL is reporting that the APC national chairman Abdullai Adamu had insisted on consulting President Muhammadu Buhari on the composition of members of the screening panel.
The newspaper quoted an insider source as saying that “Adamu, as at Sunday night, had not been able to meet with the President to consult with him on the composition of the presidential screening panel.”
“You know we have to carry the President along in everything that we do. So once he meets with him and he clears the names of members of the panel and the modalities for the screening, that is when we will fix the date”, the source allegedly said.
President Buhari returned to the country on Saturday evening, after his two days trip to the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi).
