The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its
presidential primary election.
Felix Morka, spokesman of the APC, announced the development
in a statement issued on Saturday.
According to Morka, the exercise will now take place from
June 6 to 8.
The APC presidential primary election was earlier scheduled for May 29 to 30.
“Following the
Independent National Electoral Commission’s extension of deadline for the
submission of list of candidates by political parties, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) hereby postpones its Special Convention for Presidential Primary
from Sunday, 29th – Monday, 30th of May, 2022 to Monday, 6th – Wednesday, 8th
of June, 2022,” the APC spokesman said.
On Friday, INEC announced the extension of the deadline for
party primaries.
The commission said in a statement issued by Festus Okoye,
INEC national commissioner in charge of information and voter education, that
it was extending the deadline by six days.
Political parties are now expected to conclude their
primaries by June 9, and not June 3 as earlier scheduled by INEC.
The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) had requested an
extension of the deadline for the primaries.
