THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC), the national ruling party, has again postponed the screening of its presidential aspirants.

No new date was given.

The party stated this in a statement titled ‘Notice of Postponement of APC Presidential Screening Exercise,’ dated May 22, 2022, and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.

“The Screening Exercise for Presidential Aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier scheduled to be held on Monday, May 23rd, 2022 is hereby postponed. A new date for the exercise will be announced shortly.

“Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted,” it said. 

It should be recalled that the party earlier postponed the screening exercise from May 14 and 15 to May 23 to allow former President Goodluck Jonathan and others to submit their nomination forms after the deadline.

Thedispatch gathered from sources knowledgeable about intrigues behind the curtain that the party had told the Screening Committee that they were not to screen presidential aspirants.

Jonathan has been said to have already joined the Bayelsa chapter of the APC.
