He is the only one of the 23 aspirants that failed to show up. The other 22 aspirants were present.
Meanwhile, The Nigerian Xpress has reported that Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has tendered his resignation.

The Minister of State for Education, Nwajiuba had picked the expression of interest and nomination forms from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to contest for the presidency at the cost of N100million.
