An aspirant who did reveal his name told THE WHISTLER on phone that the development was “disgusting” adding he was disappointed with the management of the party, warning that, “2023 election won’t be a joke, if the party does not prepare properly, then it will be swept off power.

“Some of us have been in Abuja for two weeks now after screening and these people keep adjusting the time table as if we are staying free in the hotel.”
