The All Progressives Congress (APC) has scheduled April 25 for the conduct of its Ondo State governorship primary election to pick its governorship candidate for the November 16, 2024, governorship election in the state.
This was contained in the timetable and schedule of activities released by the party late Monday and signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaimon Argungu.
The APC said that the sale of nominations, expression of interest and delegates forms for contestants will begin on April 3 and end on April 10, 2024, while the primary election is slated for April 25, 2024.
The party, like its governorship primary in Edo State, pegged the price for the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms at N10m and N40m respectively for Ondo.
According to APC, female aspirants and persons living with disabilities are to pay for Expression of Interest while the Nomination Form is free.
The APC stated that “Youths from 25 to 40 years are to purchase Expression of Interest forms with a 50% discount on Nomination Forms.”
Meanwhile, some of the top contenders for the APC ticket in Ondo include Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, former Ondo deputy governor, who succeeded the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu after the latter’s death on December 27, 2023.
A former Commissioner for Finance in the state, Wale Akinterinwa, as well as Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim, also wants the party’s ticket.
