The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the National Working Committee (NWC) will decide if there will be a need for an extension in the approved period for the sales of expression of interest and nomination forms to aspirants in the 2027 general elections.
NewsWatch Nigeria reports that this was made known by the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, while briefing journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.
He, however, established that for now, the party is working within the approved timelines in line with the schedule of the sales activities and time previously released.
“The party’s National Working Committee (NWC) will decide at its meeting if there will be any room for extension.
“There is a timeline for activities and if there will be any extension we will follow due process.
“There is presently no extension for the sales of the forms,” he said.
Yilwatda confirmed that there is no challenge in the sale of forms, adding that everything is going smoothly.
He added that the APC would provide a level playing ground for all aspirants.
“The APC remains one of the most democratic political parties in the country which provides level playing ground to all its members.
“Someone has even picked a form to contest the presidency and this shows the level of democracy we have in Nigeria.
“The number of people coming to contest in our party tells us that it is the most acceptable in Nigeria.
“There is currently no challenge in the sale of forms as the banks had been doing the needful with party staff overseeing the clearance.
“The department in charge of receipts is up to its duties and is monitoring the social media to ascertain if people are complaining,” he said.
