The presidential nomination form drama in the All Progressives Congress (APC) continued on Monday with the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, joining the growing list of the ruling party’s presidential aspirants.
He became the 24th aspirant to pick the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms for the May 30 primary when a group of his friends led by Chief Sam Nkire, a member of the National Caucus of the party and 15 other Senators, purchased the form for him at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

Mr. Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
“In a revised timetable issued by the APC National Organising Secretary, Mr Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu, the last day for submission of completed forms and accompanying documents is now set for Wednesday, May 11,” he said.
Morka said that the APC Congresses for election of local government, state and national delegates would hold from Thursday, May 12 to Saturday, May 14.
