The All Progressives Grand Alliance on Wednesday said election to determine its candidate in the forthcoming governorship poll in Edo State would be conducted on June 30.
The National Director of Publicity of the party, Ifeanacho Ogbuejiofor, made this known in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
Ogbuejiofor said the party fixed the date for the primaries following the timetable for the election recently released by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He, however, said only one person had so far bought the expression of interest and nomination form of the party for the primary poll.
He maintained that APGA would participate in the election, adding that the party would cooperate with INEC to conduct credible poll.
Ogbuejiofor disclosed that the cost of the nomination form for the election was N6 million.
Osaro Onaiwu, the immediate past Director-General of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, obtained APGA’s nomination form for the Edo State election on Tuesday in Abuja.
