Aspirants seeking governorship ticket under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state may have scaled screening hurdle.
After hours of rigorous exercise, five of the seven aspirants were cleared by the chairman of the committee and former governor of Ebonyi state, Senator Sam Egwu.
Egwu, who initially shunned the PDP press corps who came to cover the exercise gave the hint in an interactions with reporters.
The aspirants that participated in the screening exercise were: Adeolu Akinwumi, Chief Olusola Ebiseni, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye, Hon. Kolade Akinjo, Elder Bosun Arebuwa, Barrister John Mafo and Hon. Agboola Ajayi.
Efforts by journalists to get a clearer picture of what transpired at the screening exercise was curtailed as the committee chairman bared aspirants from speaking to the press.
Olusola Ebiseni and Agboola Ajayi, both displayed their screening certificate after the exercise.
At about, 4pm, Egwu said: “The Ondo state gubernatorial screening committee had seven contestants to screen.
“We have completed our screening, only some of them who’s documentation not completed will still come back to complete that aspect of documentation and when that is done we will be done with the screening and then make our report available.”
