Chairman of the committee and former national chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, disclosed this at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja when the panel presented its report on Friday afternoon.
Consequently, only 13 presidential aspirants will slug it out at the forthcoming APC special national convention.
