The All Progressives Congress (APC) has blocked two ministers from being governorship candidates in their states.
The Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, and that of Communication, Adebayo Sh!ttu, were disqualified by the screening committee of the APC.
Ms Alhassan seeks to govern Taraba on the APC platform while Mr Sh!ttu seeks to govern Oyo State.
Although no reason was given for the failure to clear Mrs Alhassan, Mr Sh!ttu was disqualified because he failed to participate in the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
PREMIUM TIMES had exclusively reported how Mr Sh!ttu failed to carry out the mandatory one year of service.
The minister told this newspaper that he refused to serve because he was elected a lawmaker after graduating from the university, a reason faulted by the NYSC.
Mrs Alhassan was the governorship candidate of the party in the 2015 election.
