Oyegun, a former governor of Edo State and first national chairman of APC, stated that only 13 out of the 23 aspirants screened were cleared by the Committee.
He however did not reveal the identity of the disqualified aspirants, insisting that the party will disclose their names in due time.
Commenting on the rumours making rounds about involvement of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the race, Oyegun said the committee did not screen him.
It would be recalled that the Committee held the screening exercise between Monday and Tuesday this week.
