“The screening went well, they engaged me on family lineage, my experience in the House of Assembly as a legislative officer and my committee activities and also, my experiences as Governance and Financial Advisor in Canada
“I also presented them with my credentials which were checked and seen as all up to date.
“All said and done, the committee gives credence to my time in the House of Assembly.
“The committee made up of Commissioners, Special Advisers and party leaders was well detailed. It was a wonderful experience,” he said
After the screening, Ogbe said that his focus has been shifted to the party stakeholders and members whom he said he has confidence in to give him their mandate as the APC flag bearer.
“My experience is for the card -carrying members of the party to speak through their votes and vote for me. I have confidence in the party members that they are going to do justice to their votes and mandate
“However, we are expecting the party’s guidelines for the primary elections and we are meeting with the party hierarchy,” Ogbe said.
