Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has been cleared to fight the presidential primary election of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 elections.
Speaking in a message via his 𝕏 Account on Wednesday, Obi said that the screening, which lasted over two and a half hours, took place on Tuesday.
According to him, the screening committee, led by the former Governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu, checked all his paperwork, including degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.
Obi stated that he also spoke about his vision for Nigeria and the type of leadership he would deliver if eventually elected President.
The presidential hopeful who commended the democratic process introduced by the NDC remarked that the screening committee was highly competent in their approach.
He stated, “Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They thoroughly evaluated all my documentation, including my degree diplomas, NYSC certifications, and age declarations.
“During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination paperwork I had previously paid for.
“I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I commend our party’s leadership for preserving the democratic process.
“A New Nigeria is POssible. – PO.“
