APC NWC Voids Screening Of Edo Guber Aspirants

The National Working Committee, NWC of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has put a spin to the reported plans by the Edo State chapter of the party to prune the aspirants in the race for the party’s governorship ticket and with it, voided the screening of the aspirants as inspired by the state caucus.

The party in a statement at the weekend said that its Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the Election are available for purchase and collection to all interested aspirants.

GWG.ng reports that the assertions of the NWC is against the move by the Senator Adams Oshiomhole led state caucus that has pruned the number of aspirants to six.

The move has led to uproar with some tendencies in the state expressing outrage over the elimination of some of the party’s more formidable aspirants including Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and General Charles Airhiavbere.

Mr Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary in a statement at the weekend said screening and clearance of aspirants would be undertaken by a committee to be constituted by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), in accordance with its Constitution.

“As stipulated in the released APC timetable and schedule of activities for Edo gubernatorial election, all interested aspirants are to make prescribed payments into the party’s approved bank accounts.

“They are to collect their Expression of Interest and Nomination forms from the party’s National Secretariat,” Morka said.

The assertions by the APC NWC counter the screening of the aspirants by the Professor Julius Ihonvbere-led committee as inspired by the Edo State caucus leader, Senator Adams Oshiomhole. That move reportedly led to the pruning of the aspirants to six from 29, a move that the APC NWC has now voided.
