The immediate past Minister of State for Education, Mr. Emeka Nwajiuba, boycotted the APC special convention for the election of the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 elections.
Nwajiuba is one of the 28 people to buy the presidential nomination form at the whopping sum of N100 million.
He was also one of the 24 aspirants that returned the completed nomination forms.
He was also the first minister to resign before President Muhammadu Buhari asked all the others to resign.
But inexplicably, he was absent at the venue of the primary election at Eagle Square, Abuja.

“The Minister of State for Education, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba becomes the first person to pick the APC Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the APC Presidential Primary as a group of Nigerians raised over N100m from where they purchased the forms for him,” the tweeted.
