The Peoples Democratic Party has postponed the sale of forms for the Anambra governorship primaries.

The party announced this on Sunday.

The sale of the forms was scheduled to begin on March 1 and close on March 10.

The party, in a statement by its National Organising Secretary, Col. Austin Akobundu (retd), in Abuja, also announced the extension of the tenure of its zonal caretaker committees for South-West, North-Central, and North-West by 30 days.

Mr. Akobundu also gave March 1 as the last day to submit already purchased and completed forms for its zonal congresses in all the zones.

The statement explained, “Consequently, screening of aspirants for North-East, South-East, and South-South Zonal congresses is now scheduled for Tuesday, March 2, at the zonal headquarters.

“In the same vein, the tenures of Zonal Caretaker Committees for South-West, North-Central, and North-West have been extended for another period of 30 days.

“The fresh extension takes effect from March 10, being the date of the expiration of the current tenure.”

Akobundu advised all PDP leaders, stakeholders, and teeming members to note changes in the party’s schedule of activities.
