Explaining why the Acting President, Mike Umeh was not cleared, Biambo said he obtained form for the position of Vice President but returned it as a presidential candidate.
Former boss of the National Institute for Sports (NIS), Segun Odegbami, was not cleared because he did not attach receipt to the nomination form and no endorsement from his South West zone.
