The Appeal panel set up by the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress to consider matters emanating from the Governorship and National Assembly primaries has upheld the disqualification of some aspirants.
Some of the high profile disqualifications included: A former Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris and Mallam Uba Sani, the Political Adviser to the Kaduna State Governor.
The Committee upheld the automatic ticket given to Senator Shehu Sani and refused to uphold the primary which produced Senator Aliyu Lawal and Dr. Abba Ibrahim.
The party’s primaries held across the country were marred by violence, allegations of irregularities and disqualifications of aspirants.
Several of these issues led to a series of meetings between the party leadership, some aggrieved governors and President Muhammadu Buhari.
