The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the second time, has extended the dates for the sales and submission of its nomination forms for the 2023 general elections.
The major opposition party had last month extended the closing date for the sale of nomination forms and also rescheduled the date for screening aspirants.
In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Friday night, 15 April, the adjustment is to enable the “party to make up for the two days Easter public holidays announced by the Federal Government.”
Going by the new timetable, the last day for the purchase of all forms has been extended to Tuesday, April 19, 2022, while the last day for the submission of already completed forms has also been extended to Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
