APC extends deadline for forms sale, submission till Fri

The All Progressives Congress has extended its deadline for the sale and submission of nomination forms to Friday.

This, it was learnt, was to allow ample opportunity for its presidential aspirants to return their nomination and expression of interest forms.

While the sale of forms officially closed on Tuesday, the submission of forms was scheduled to be a one-day event but the party sources said some of the high-profile aspirants, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, were yet to turn in their documents as of noon on Wednesday.

National Publicity Secretary of the parry, Felix Morka, confirmed that both the sale and submission of forms had now been extended till Friday

Another party source said a lot was required to fill the presidential forms even as he noted that some of the aspirants picked the forms late.

He added that the party felt one day would not be enough for some of those who picked the forms close to the deadline.
