Kayode Ajulo, a constitutional lawyer, has branded the
emergence of many presidential candidates for the 2023 general elections as a
good omen for the country.
However, according to Ajulo, only three of the numerous All
Progressives Congress (APC) aspirants are constitutionally qualified to contest
the presidential election.
He stated this in an interview with NAN on Tuesday in Abuja.
“From our preliminary examination of the aspirants, only three aspirants in the All Progressives Congress (APC) are constitutionally qualified to run for the president’s office,” Ajulo said, declining to elaborate further.
Among the APC aspirants are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and
former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu.
Ajulo explained that he was not surprised at the number of
aspirants jostling to serve Nigeria, adding that the number was a far cry from
his expectations.
“Anyone with a good fortune could afford the price, and by
the way, they are only aspirants buying the nomination form. It is not an
automatic process that will translate to fielding such aspirants in the primaries
because they will have to be screened first,” Ajulo added.
Ajulo also mentioned that for those that passed the
screening, the stage would be cleared for horse-trading among them ahead of the
primary election.
