The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has extended the deadline for the purchase and collection of nomination forms for the 2014 primary elections to Thursday.

According to a statement signed by the national publicity secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, aspirants who paid for the presidential nomination forms are also eligible to collect the forms.

Two members of the party, Tafawa Balewa and Akasoba Duke-Abiola, had gone to the PDP’s national headquarters on October 28 to collect the presidential nomination and expression-of-interest forms after making payments, but were declined.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wishes to inform all aspirants to all positions for the 2015 general elections that the deadline for the purchase and collection of all nomination forms has been extended to Thursday, November 6 2014,” Metuh said.

“All aspirants who paid for nomination forms, including the presidential form but yet to collect the same, should come to the PDP national secretariat with verifiable evidence of payment for purposes of collection of their forms.”
