The All Progressives Congress, APC has announced the extension of the sale of Nomination and Expression of Interest Forms and Delegate Forms for the 2024 Gubernatorial Primary Election in Ondo State.

This decision comes after the initial period for the sale of forms, which began on Wednesday, 27th March 2024, and was scheduled to end on Wednesday, 3rd April 2024, as stated in the earlier-published revised timetable and schedule of activities.

In a statement signed by Felix Morka, Esq., the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, extension will now last until Friday, 5th April, 2024.

The party affirmed its commitment to ensuring a transparent and inclusive electoral process in Ondo State.

Morka said the extension of the sale of nomination forms provides interested aspirants with more time to obtain the necessary documentation and participate in the party’s primary election.

Meanwhile, the party has made a whooping sum of ₦720 million after the sale of forms were purchased by no fewer than 16 aspirants vying for the party’s ticket ahead of the November 16 governorship election.

It was gathered that 14 male aspirants picked the forms for ₦50 million each, while two female contenders paid ₦10 million each for only the expression of interest form due to the party’s consideration for females and persons living with disabilities (PWD).

Among the male aspirants that purchased the forms are Governor Lucky Ayiedatiwa, Olusoji Ehinlanwo, Jimi Odimayo, Jimoh Ibrahim, and APC National Vice Chairman (South West) Isaacs Kekemeke.

Others are Wale Akinterinwa, Olugbenga Edema, Olusola Oke (SAN), Olamide Ohunyeye, Morayo Lebi, Oladiran Iyantan, Prof. Francis Faduyile, Mayowa Akinfolarin, and Ifeoluwa Oyedele.

Two female aspirants who threw their hats in the ring are Funmilayo Adekojo and Funke Omogoroye.
