The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced the screening of aspirants seeking to contest Senate and House of Representatives seats under its platform, with the two-day exercise kicking off today, Saturday, May 9, 2026, at designated venues in Abuja.
The screening, which runs through Sunday, May 10, 2026, marks a critical step in the party’s preparations for its primary elections ahead of the 2027 general elections — one of the most consequential electoral seasons in Nigeria’s democratic history.
