Ondo guber: APC pegs forms at N50m

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has pegged the price for the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the Ondo governorship election scheduled for November 16, 2024, at N10 million and N40 million.

This was disclosed in the timetable released to show the schedule of activities leading to APC’s selection of a candidate on April 25, 2024.

The timetable released late Monday and signed by APC’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaimon Argungu, said the sale of nominations, expression of interest and delegates forms for contestants will start on April 3 and end on April 10, 2024, while the primary election is slated for April 25, 2024.

The party said female aspirants and persons living with disabilities are to pay for Expression of Interest while the Nomination Form is free.

“Youths from 25 to 40 years are to purchase Expression of Interest forms with a 50% discount on Nomination Forms,” APC said.

Leading contenders for the APC in Ondo State include Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa; former Commissioner for Finance in the state, Wale Akinterinwa; and Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim.

Ondo and Edo are two of the eight states where governorship elections are held off-season due to litigations and court judgements. The others are Anambra, Bayelsa, Ekiti, Imo, Kogi and Osun.
