Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The All Progressives Congres, APC, has extended the sale of nomination and expression of interest forms for the Ondo State Governorship election till Friday.
This was disclosed in a statement by the party’s spokesperson, Felix Morka, on Thursday.
The party also extended the sale of delegate forms for the primary election till Friday.
According to the statement earlier released, the sale of forms was open from Wednesday, 27 March to 3 April.
The party did not state the reason for extending the sale of the forms.
However, DAILY POST reports that it may not be unconnected to the death of one of the aspirants, Paul Akintelure.
Akintelure died last week at the age of 61 in Lagos State after complaining of chest pain, which he had been battling with over the previous four days.
His death prompted several other aspirants in the race to suspend their campaigns for a couple of days to mourn him.
The APC primary election, where the party will select its candidate for the governorship poll, is slated for 20 April.
