Reactions Trail Disqualification Of 10 APC Presidential Aspirants

Reactions have trailed the disqualification of ten presidential aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the John Odigie-Oyegun led Presidential Screening Committee.

Naija News earlier reported that the Chairman of the committee and former APC National Chairman made this known on Friday while submitting the report to the party leadership.

Odigie-Oyegun disclosed that only 13 out of the 23 aspirants screened were cleared by the committee and will contest the party’s primary election slated for June 6 and 7.

While refusing to reveal the identity of those disqualified, the chairman said that only youthful aspirants made the list of cleared aspirants.

Following the development, some Nigerians have taken to social media to express their views on the disqualification of the ten presidential hopefuls.
