The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced a 48-hour extension for the sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the 2027 general election.
The exercise, which was originally slated to end tomorrow, will now run till the evening of May 4. Consequently, the deadline for the submission of completed forms has been moved from tomorrow to May 5.
Addressing reporters yesterday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Duro Meseko, explained that the adjustment was necessitated by today’s nationwide public holiday of the International Workers’ Day

He said: “The NWC (National Working Committee) met and we took some decisions. I wish to announce that the sales of nominations forms, which should have ended on Saturday… have now been extended till midnight of Monday, May 4, 2026,” he said.
He explained that the decision, reached during the 187th meeting of the NWC, aimed to ensure no aspirant is disenfranchised due to the holiday break.
“As you all know, there is a public holiday on Friday (today) and we have been getting calls from all the states. So, that is the major reason we are shifting the date… to give room to all members willing to obtain nomination forms,” he added.
While the entry deadlines have shifted, the party maintained that the core screening timeline remains unchanged to ensure the primary process stays on track.
