The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential screening committee has announced the disqualification of 10 presidential aspirants under the party’s platform from its primaries which has been scheduled for next week.
This leaves a total number of 13 out of the initially screened 23 aspirants cleared to contest during the June 6 to June 8, 2022, presidential primaries.
This revelation was made by the Chairman of the Committee, John Odigie-Oyegun, during the submission of the committee’s report to the Chairman of APC, Abdullahi Adamu, on Friday in Abuja.
According to Channels, Oyegun, who refused to disclose the identity or names of the aspirants who were disqualified from contesting in the APC presidential primaries, however, pointed out that only youthful aspirants made the list of cleared aspirants.

Youthful aspirants sound promising
I will like to join
I do like to know who and who was disqualified
Who and who was removed from the list. Can I see all those that are removed and those that are left?
That’s a welcome development and at least it will reduce the tension but it would have been better if the names of those screened and those disqualified be published too.
Very good
