[i]APC Waives Screening for Tinubu Ahead of Presidential PPrimaries

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has waived the screening requirement for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the party’s presidential primaries, declaring him duly cleared to participate.

The decision was reached during the NWC’s 188th meeting held on May 6, 2026, and was disclosed in a statement issued by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.

According to the statement, the committee relied on provisions of the party’s constitution to grant the waiver, citing Tinubu’s status as incumbent president, his prior clearance in 2022, and widespread endorsements from party stakeholders.

NWC Cites Constitutional Powers, Prior Clearance

“This decision was made pursuant to the powers conferred on the NWC under Article 13.4 (xiii) and (xiv) of the Constitution of APC to organise and supervise the Party’s primaries and, in special circumstances, grant waivers in the best interest of the Party,” the statement read.

The NWC noted that President Tinubu had already undergone screening and was cleared ahead of the 2022 presidential primaries, making a repeat process unnecessary.

It added that compelling the president to appear again before a screening committee would be redundant given his current position as leader of the party.

Endorsements Strengthen Waiver Decision

The committee also referenced the president’s endorsement by key party organs, including the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), members of the National Assembly, and other stakeholders.

These endorsements were reaffirmed during the APC National Summit held on May 22, 2025, alongside other statutory party engagements.

APC Extends Deadlines for Aspirants

Meanwhile, the APC has extended the deadlines for the sale and submission of expression of interest and nomination forms for aspirants ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The party also adjusted its screening timetable as part of efforts to accommodate more participants in the ongoing electoral process.

The Bureau News reports that the latest decision signals early consolidation of support within the ruling party as preparations intensify for the 2027 elections.

Jagaban Borgu of Agulu himself!

congratulations 👏 🎉 to us
They try to create alliance party
Like baba did 2015
But they failed
Tinubu till 2045

I wasn’t expecting anything different from this outcome.

Congratulation to Asiwaju

Even if the president is demented e no concern apc.

What exactly is there to screen in the first instance?
An epitome of forgery and identity theft.

If the APC had any credibility at all, an individual like Tinubu would never have been allowed to contest any election in the first instance.

But of course, the party long ago abandoned the progressive ideals of its founding fathers and have become a one man show, now run like a criminal drug cartel.

Hahahahahahaaaaaa!!!
Afi MASTER-rigger strategist!
Chicago-DRUG BAYRON ati CERTIFICATE-FORGER looking for escape route.

JagaBANDIT can NEVER pass any screening and we all know why.

Na wetin e go present to D-NEC?😁

Congrats to Asiwaju on his re-election.

Lol. Who is the person that even want to screen is it the one that is already standing on his Manhood?

He will reign over your life and family till 2045

This is wrong on all fronts
Being a sitting president doesn't make him above the law
He should set a good example by submitting himself to due process
Man goes about as if he's too big or too good for the country

The only thing that should be discussed in this country media is stopping the killings of our people, especially those living in rural areas, not politicians, politics or elections.

What purpose is the thing called government when our people are being killed on daily basis and their agricultural land handed over to bandits just to push an end of days agenda.

Authentic oppositions ati awon O sumo oppositions.. it’s time for you to tell us your take, even though we are aware that the cynic ones will always have something negative to say.. let’s have it, let’s have it…😂😂😂😂😂

That’s an internal affair of the political party.

Internal affairs of a party ko! But APC will use the JUJUCIARY and D-NEC to interfere in other opposition parties’ affairs.

APC will tell other parties how to run their affairs by planting moles of discord in other parties.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu was screened 4 years ago for the same position

Stop crying upandan..

Peter Obi has been having party problems long before APC was formed.

Peter Obi destroyed APGA and caused crisis in APGA before jumping to PDP and all this happened before APC was formed.

You do have a point though.


Arrogance can be destructive and Tinubu should be very careful before Nigerians turn on him at the polls.

Peter Obi again? Did he FORGE his certificate too? With political cannibals like Soludo and Rochas in APGA, why call Peter Obi’s name?

Better face APC that JagaaBANDIT is destroying. Full implosion loading. . . . . With 31 enslaved governors.😁

He has his zombies to thank for that
They go about complaining that Obidients are packaging a fraud when Tinubu is even a bigger packaged fraud that they've been packaging for over 20 years
A man who claimed he built Lagos
Joke of the century

You dey mind Tinubu; you no see as Obee is always submitting himself for primary elections in any party he goes to. Tinubu should learn from Obee

EmperorIsaac:
Jagaban Borgu of Agulu himself!

na you want to screen failure again

I keep wondering; they say Obi doesn't like primaries.

Technically, is there any difference between that and what Tinubu is doing?

And no one should ignorantly or mischievously say that it's not Tinubu, because it is.

If he was a true democrat he would prevail upon the APC to allow room for presidential primary.

As expected cos he no fit pass screening

Why is he exempted from screening ?

That is how they will shield him from Presidential debates...

Shame!
A men whose name be is answering is not his real name. He is 10 years older than his daughter.
That will not Exempt him from losing the election.
We don't want people without identity in Aso Rock.
