The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has dismissed reports on the disqualification of governorship aspirants in the state.
There were reports last week that the APC screening committee led by a member of the House of Representatives from Owan Federal Constituency, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, had cleared six aspirants for the election and disqualified 23 others, including the party’s governorship candidate in the 2020 election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
The party’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Peter Uwadiae, who made the clarification in a chat with journalists on Tuesday in Benin City, said the committee was set up in an advisory capacity and not to screen aspirants.
