He said ‎Ifeanyi Patrick Ubah “barely got cleared but is as good as any other aspirant”, while Oseloka Henry Obaze was conditionally cleared and awaiting a waiver from the party.
Akolisa Ufodike was disqualified from the contest on grounds of dual citizenship.
Waziri explained that Ufodike was disqualified because he was a Canadian citizen but a Nigerian by birth.

“Any aspirant who is not satisfied with the decisions of the screening panel has the right to appeal,” Waziri said.
