The All Progressives Congress (APC) has 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 yesterday. Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, while explaining the reason for the decision, stated that the party wanted all its Presidential aspirants to sign letters of commitment to assure the party that they’re running to offer selfless 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 a united house. 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. Onu revealed that the scores by the aspirants were very narrow and very high, stating that the least scored 62 per cent while the highest scored 78 per cent, the second scored 77 and the third 75. Rtd. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, alongside Alh. Atiku Abubakar, Dr. Sam Nda-Isaiah and Governors Rochas Okorocha and Rabiu Kwankwaso passed through the screening and were all successful.
