2023: APC extends sale, submission of forms deadline
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the deadline for the sale of its expression of interest and nomination forms to May 12.
Similarly, the aspirants who have obtained the nomination forms have until Friday to submit them.
In a statement announcing the development, the party pointed out that the Sallah holidays caused delays in the purchase and submission of forms.
The statement added that aspirants who had submitted their forms would be screened on Saturday and Sunday.
“Following the new submission date, APC has fixed Saturday, May 14 and Sunday May 15 for screening of all aspirants that have returned their duly completed and signed nomination and expression of interest forms to the APC secretariat,” the statement said.
APC had earlier announced Tuesday as the deadline after extending it from May 6.
