The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday directed
the five presidential aspirants contesting on its platform to
sign an undertaking ahead of its primary on Dec. 10.
This was disclosed during the presentation of certificates to
all the aspirants who scaled through the party’s screening on
Dec. 2.
Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, while explaining the reason for the
decision, said “we want our aspirants to sign letters of
commitment to the party to assure the party that they’re
running to offer service.
”To improve the well being of Nigerians; to improve security
and for the others to support the winner by collapsing their
structures into the party so that the party can move into the
elections united.
Before presenting the certificates, Onu said he was
impressed by the scores of the aspirants who, he testified,
were thoroughly grilled to ascertain their competence for the
nation’s top job.
”Yesterday we met for hours with the aspirants, during that
exercise we found these men are so distinguished that
there’s not one that won’t make great difference for the
country.
”During the screening, we took the members through a very
rigorous path, we tested their understanding of the nation’s
problems and I’m happy, satisfied with the quality of people
running for president on the APC platform.
”I want to also reveal to you that the scores were very
narrow and very high, the least scored 62 per cent and while
the highest scored 78 per cent.
“The second even scored 77 and the third 75, it was a close
call,” Onu said.
Responding on behalf of the aspirants, Gen. Muhammad
Buhari commended the party for putting together a
competent screening committee.
”We are very grateful to our great party for organising such
a competent team to interview us. We went through the mill
yesterday on foreign affairs, security, economy and the
impact of what our personal decisions are to the polity.
”Its a very trying times for the five of us, and we’re
grateful that they’ve been very generous in their award of
marks and that we all made it and the rest of the decision
now is left largely to the delegates.
”The secretary has read the letter which we were made to
sign yesterday so that the loyalty to the party will be
supreme,” Buhari said.
The general alongside Alh. Atiku Abubakar, Dr. Sam Nda-
Isaiah and Governors Rochas Okorocha and Rabiu
Kwankwaso passed through the screening on Tuesday and
were successful.
