He said apart from the dead persons, those who have left the ruling All Progressives Congress but were included in the list would also be removed. He said, “Yes, I can confirm to you that the process to replace the dead ones has started. We are looking at those ones too with a view to replacing them.”Some of the dead persons on the list released included the late Senator Francis Okpozo, who died in December 2016. Shehu had on Saturday said there was nothing “scandalous or extraordinary” in the inclusion of the names of the dead persons in the list which he said had been prepared over two years ago.
