This is even as the group submitted that the aspirants have the requisite qualifications, acumen and charismatic traits to defeat Obaseki at the primaries, to fly the flag of the party.

The group argues that the party does not need a candidate that will be bogged down by court appearances over corruption charges or have any ‘baggage’ over past political activities, urging the APC National Chairman and the party to zero in on aspirant that parades the right qualities.
