The All Progressives Congress (APC) has set the prices for Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the Ondo governorship election, scheduled for November 16, 2024, at N10 million and N40 million respectively.
This information was revealed in the timetable released to outline the sequence of activities leading up to the APC’s selection of a candidate on April 25, 2024.
According to the timetable, issued late on Monday and signed by the APC’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaimon Argungu, the sale of nomination forms, expression of interest, and delegates forms for contestants will commence on April 3 and conclude on April 10, 2024. The primary election is set for April 25, 2024.
The party has specified that female aspirants and persons living with disabilities are required to pay for the Expression of Interest, while the Nomination Form is provided free of charge.
“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.
