Former President Goodluck Jonathan is missing on the list of presidential aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) expected to be screened.

The Nigerian media had last week reported that Jonathan had submitted his N100 million presidential nomination and expression of interest forms to the National Chairman of the ruling party, Abdullahi Adamu.

However, his name is not on the list of 23 presidential aspirants released by the APC.

Names of the presidential aspirants for screening as listed by APC:

1. Chukwuemeja Uwaezuoke Nwajiuba

2. Badaru Abubakar

3. Robert A. Boroffice

4. Uju Ken-Ohanenye

5. Nicholas Felix

6. Nweze David Umahi

7. Ken Nnamani

8. Gbolahan B. Bakare

9. Ibikunle Amosun

10. Ahmed B. Tinubu

11. Ahmad Rufai Sani

12. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi

13. Oladimeji Sabon Bankole

14. John Kayode Fayemi

15. Godswill Obot Akpabio

16. Yemi Osinbajo

17. Rochas Anayo Okorocha

18. Yahaya Bello

19. Tein Jack-Rich

20. Christopher Onu

21. Ahmad Lawan

22. Ben Ayade

23. Ikeobasi Mokelu

A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State had last Friday declared that Jonathan is eligible and “constitutionally” qualified to contest for president in 2023.

In his judgment, Justice Hamma Adama Dashen said Jonathan is not affected by the fourth alteration to the constitution barring Vice-Presidents who succeed their principals from serving more than one full term.
