The Appeal Committees of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared all aspirants to contest September 3, 2020, for the primary elections.
The polls will be held in eight states on October 31.
APC spokesman, Yekini Nabena, in a statement on Tuesday, said there are no preferred, pre-determined or anointed aspirants.
He said the clarification was a response to a statement by party chieftain, Okoi Obono-Obla.
Obono-Obla had alleged an attempt to “foist” a predetermined candidate on Cross River North Senatorial District.
Nabena noted that the APC is moving in a new and progressive direction whereby things are done properly and internal democracy is the norm.
“The party will continue to give all aspirants a level playing field while also ensuring that only those with impeccable records and are popularly elected are presented as APC candidates in all elections”, he added.
