APC Screening Committee has disqualified the Osun State Commissioner for Cabinet Matters, Senator Mudashir Hussein, from participating in the primary election scheduled to hold on Monday to pick the party’s candidate for the by-election to fill the Osun West Senatorial District vacant seat at the Senate.
The seat became vacant following the death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke on April 23 and INEC has fixed July 8 for the by -election. The committee however, cleared Adeleke’s younger brother, Ademola.
Except the disqualification verdict is appealed and overturned by the appeal committee, Adeleke’s brother may pick the APC ticket unopposed because other aspirants stepped down for him and Hussein shortly before the screening started on Saturday.
