The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday rescheduled for next week the sale of expression of interest and nomination forms for elective positions which was originally fixed for today.
The new leadership of the party has also sent all the six directors at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja on compulsory leave.
The Nation gathered that the rescheduling of the sale of forms was informed by the inability of the contractor handling the printing of the forms to deliver on time.
At the close of work yesterday, the APC Directorate of Organisation was yet to take delivery of the forms.
It was also gathered that the party was yet to fine-tune the guidelines for the sale of the forms and the primaries.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) on Wednesday approved the sale of nomination forms to commence on Saturday, April 23.
A source in the party who confirmed the development on condition of anonymity said the party was yet to fix a new date for the commencement of the sale of forms.
The NWC is expected to determine the new date on Monday.
The source said: “The postponement became necessary following the inability of the contractor to deliver the forms. As we speak now (Friday evening), the printer is yet to deliver the forms. “We hope the exercise will commence next week as the contractor is expected to deliver by the weekend.”
The Nation also gathered that the six directors at the National Secretariat were asked to proceed on compulsory leave.
Also affected by the directive is the head of the legal department of the party.
The APC National Secretary, Otunba Iyiola Omisore, in an April 21, 2022 letter, directed the affected persons to hand over the affairs of their departments to the most senior person.
The decision followed the recommendation of the Transition Committee set up by Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led NWC as part of the efforts to re-organise the APC National Secretariat.
Adamu had dropped hint of the impending reorganisation when he received his certificate of returns from the Electoral Committee of the March 26 National Convention of the party.
