The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may bar prospective candidates with corruption cases before anti-graft agencies from the coveted position of the National Chairman of the party.
It was gathered that the move was aimed at checking corrupt individuals from occupying positions in the party.
It was also gathered that such candidates would, in their own interest, withdraw from the race and give rooms to the clean ones among them to occupy the number one position of the party.
Recalled that some few weeks ago, President Muhammadu Buhari was quoted to have said during one an event that, “APC as a party could not afford to work with dishonest and corrupt people, rather to mold the honest ones amongst to steer the party’s affairs.”
With this development the APC may drop candidates who had been parading themselves as likely contestants, most especially in the Northern part of the country.
Their ambition for the APC National chairmanship job may have reached a sudden end due to the series of corruption cases hanging on the necks of some of these candidates.
