“We expect all the relevant officers of the party and also aspirants to take note of this important development. As you know, we have a public holiday on Friday and that has been the reason to allow everybody because as at this afternoon we have been getting calls from stations that people want to buy form due to the public holiday.

“Other timelines remain the same. It is only the sales and submission of forms that have been extended.”

Meanwhile, stakeholders from Taraba State have secured the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for Governor Agbu Kefas to contest the 2027 governorship election for a second term.

The forms were collected on Thursday in Abuja by a delegation comprising federal lawmakers, party officials, and other key stakeholders from the state.

Speaking after the exercise, on behalf of the delegation, Senator Haruna Manu said the move reflects strong backing for Kefas’ re-election bid, adding that “almost all major stakeholders” of the party in Taraba were present at the event.

He said, “We are here to obtain the nomination and expression of interest forms for the Executive Governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, as he seeks a second term, by the grace of God. As you can see, all key APC stakeholders in Taraba State are present. We have only come to pick up the forms.

“We informed some of them just about an hour ago, and I am confident the crowd will be even larger when we submit the forms on Monday. I want us to view this form beyond 2027.”
