APC extends sale of nomination form to May 10

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the sale of its Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to aspirants seeking for elective positions in 2023 general elections from May 6 to May 10.

Mr Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

“In a revised timetable issued by the APC National Organising Secretary, Mr Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu, the last day for submission of completed forms and accompanying documents is now set for Wednesday, May 11,” he said.

Morka said that the APC Congresses for election of local government, state and national delegates would hold from Thursday, May 12 to Saturday, May 14.

The APC sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination to aspirants began on April 23.

Meanwhile, Chris Ngige, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate and Minister of Labour and Employment, has revealed why he will not retire to run for president in 2023.

The Minister made the revelation to journalists shortly after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, April 27.

He, on the other hand, denied knowledge of APC demands that all appointments quit before the presidential primary on May 30.

Chris Ngige claims that he has not received any particular instructions from the ruling APC regarding his presidential ambition, and that his decision to stay a member of the FEC is in accordance with the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

The Minister further noted that Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act was set down by the Federal High Court in Umuahia on March 18, and that he is under no need to quit his position.

“Because I don’t know about it, I’m hearing for the first time from you,” Chris Ngige responded when asked when he will retire in accordance with his party’s guidelines. “But, as I usually say, I’ll be guided by the word and spirit of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s Constitution.”
