Over 179 To Jostle For 43 NWC Positions At APC Convention

As of the time of the close of the sale of forms for the 43 positions by the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress on Friday, over 176 party members had purchased and submitted forms for screening.

This was revealed by the Chairman of the screening sub-committee of the APC National Convention Planning Committee, Aminu Bello Masari, in an interview with newsmen in Abuja, on Sunday.

Masari promised that his panel would adhere strictly to the rules and regulations guiding the convention.

He said, “The total number of aspirants nationwide is about 179, although specifically, I cannot immediately tell you their geographic spread.”

When asked whether his committee had disqualified any aspirant, Masari said, “It is premature for me to say. I think the report will be presented on Tuesday.”

As to whether the party would respect its zoning arrangement, the governor declared “you can only contest any position zoned to your zone.

“So far, those who applied for positions from the North-West are from the North-West, nobody from the North-East or elsewhere applied for the positions zoned to the North-West.”
