Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said the party’s screening was an example of democracy in action.
Obi stated this while speaking to reporters after his screening by the NDC committee headed by former governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu.
“This is democracy in action because the NDC chooses to do things properly. When we say there is going to be screening, it has to be done right.
“Nigerians want to know whether you meet the stipulated constitutional qualifications and can provide relevant documents to back them up.
“This is the way to know whether everything you have said or declared is true and if you can answer questions about your commitment to building a united, secure and prosperous Nigeria. That’s why the screening lasted over two hours,” Obi said.
