Contrary To the APC Constitution and Guidelines, in the last
national convention of APC, several candidates who failed to present themselves
before the Screening Committee that was constituted to ascertain the
suitability of candidates vying for positions in the National
Executive Committee were curiously allowed to participate in the National
Convention by the Election Committee headed by Alhaji Kawu Baraje it has been
alleged.
