ABUJA—Ahead of the December 10, 11 National
Convention of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the
party yesterday screened President Goodluck
Jonathan.

Also screened yesterday was the son of Nigeria’s late Prime Minister, Dr. Abdul Jelil Tafawa Balewa.
President Jonathan, who arrived the Wadata Plaza,
National Secretariat of the party, went to the National Working Committee, NWC, hall at 3.15p.m., where he was screened for one hour and came down at 4.15p.m.

Soon after he left, Dr. Balewa came for similar
screening.

Though wife of late Moshood Kashimawo Abiola,
Akasoba Duke-Abiola paid for the form, she was said not to have collected it and did not appear before the screening Panel.

Meanwhile, after Dr. Balewa had spent 90 minutes
with the screening committee, he came out and
declared: “I have decided to withdraw my aspiration
for the strength and well being of the party.
“I hope to see you all some other time. I am a strong PDP member.”

Balewa, who arrived the secretariat at about
4:32p.m., spent about two hours waiting at the
reception before he was ushered into the screening
hall.

Chairman of the screening committee and former
National Chairman of PDP, Dr. Ahmadu Ali, who had
earlier announced Balewa’s decision to withdraw
from the race, hailed the aspirant’s decision.

Ali said: “After going through 90 minutes that the
screening exercise lasted, he came to the conclusion that he wanted to withdraw from the race.

“He has promised to do everything to ensure the
success of the party at the poll. We commend him for the decision, although he chose to go through the entire process of screening before deciding to
withdraw.”

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh,
told newsmen that the leadership of the party would get the result of the exercise in the next 24 hours.
