Former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has not been
screened by the All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the party’s
presidential primary.
Jonathan failed to appear before the Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun panel on Monday and Tuesday, the two days set aside for the
screening in Abuja.
Among those screened on Tuesday were Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo, Senator Godswill Akpabio, Gov. Yahaya Bello, Senate President Ahmad
Lawan, former House Speaker Dimeji Bankole, Gov. Kayode Fayemi, Dr Ogbonnaya
Onu and others.
Despite speculations that Jonathan may have submitted his
nomination and expression of interest forms and might be screened, he was not
anywhere close to the venue of the exercise.
President Muhammadu Buhari has asked
governors elected under the APC platform, to allow him pick his successor.
Buhari made this request during a meeting with the
Progressives Governors’ Forum in Abuja, on Tuesday.
