According to reports, the governor instructed the APC chairman not to let any aspirants vying for the state Assembly seats into the party secretariat for screening, except those he had approved.
This move has sparked a wave of reactions across Delta State, with many residents calling on the APC national leadership and President Tinubu to intervene. They argue that such interference is unprecedented and unacceptable, as all aspirants purchased their express nomination and interest forms. They believe everyone should be allowed to go through the screening process fairly.
At the time of filling this report, a lot of the state Assembly aspirants are kept helpless at the entrance to the Secretariat gate while approved aspirants are under the screening exercises.
