Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced an indefinite extension of the deadline for the submission of nomination and expression of interest forms ahead of its upcoming national convention.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Abuja by Debo Ologunagba, Secretary of the Publicity Sub-Committee of the National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC).
Originally scheduled to end on Friday, September 26, the form submission process will now remain open until a new deadline is set.
“The committee is yet to fix another date as deadline,” Ologunagba stated. “Once decided, the date will be made public.”
In addition to the extension, the committee also postponed the screening of aspirants, which had been slated for Tuesday, September 30.
According to Ologunagba, the decisions were made to allow for better coordination and smooth conduct of the entire exercise.
He explained, “The extension was necessitated by the need to ensure smooth arrangements for the conduct of the exercise.”
He urged all aspirants to take note of the changes and act accordingly, assuring that updated timelines will be communicated in due course.
Despite the adjustments, the PDP’s national elective convention remains scheduled to hold on November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
