The ruling All Progressives Congress on Tuesday inaugurated the Screening Committee and the Appeal Committee for the party’s Edo State Governorship primary slated for June 22.
The National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomole who inaugurated the 7-man screening committee and 6-man appeal committee at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja said the party invited the “wise men and women” to assist the party in screening aspirants in order to avoid the Bayelsa State experience.
“After intensive consultations, we decided to have people who in our own judgement are sound and when they go through this process, their recommendations will be very helpful. Under our rules, we are expected to set up a screening committee before every election.“The responsibility of the screening committee is to interact with all those who have aspirations to contest, strictly speaking, not yet aspirants. You become an aspirant after the screening committee has passed you.
The national Chairman however said should there be discrepancies at the end of the screening and appeal exercises, “NWC can reject the screening result” stressing that, “the screening committee is High Court, Appeal Committee, Appeal Court and the NWC, the Supreme Court”.
