The opposition Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday extended the deadline for the submission of forms for a fourth time. However, impeccable sources in the PDP told The PUNCH that the party decided to extend the sale of forms in order to accommodate defectors from the All Progressives Congress across the 36 states.
\nThe last day for the submission of already completed forms is now Monday, April 25, 2022, while the deadline for purchase of forms is Friday (today). The party, however, noted that the shift did not affect its dates for primary elections.
\nThe PDP originally fixed the closure of forms for April 1 but extended it to April 8 and then to April 14. However, it shifted the date to April 20 and now April 22 (today).<\/p>\n
