YPP to hold Edo guber primaries February 24
The Young Progressive Party (YPP) has slated February 24 for the conduct of its Edo governorship primaries.
Martins Egbeola, the national publicity secretary of YPP, said this in an interview with journalists on Friday in Abuja.
Mr Egbola said the party had also slated February 27 to conduct the Ondo governorship primaries.
“The sales of expressions of interest and nomination forms have commenced at the party’s secretariat in Abuja as we speak and we expect interested aspirants to come and obtain their forms,’’ he said.
Mr Egbeola said that each aspirant was expected to pay N15 million for the nomination form, while the expression of interest form was at zero cost.
He said that women, persons living with disabilities, and youth aspirants would enjoy a 50 per cent discount.
“When we say youths, we mean young people between 35 and 40 years of age, not those with grey hair and plenty of children who yet claim to be youths,” he said.
The YPP official expressed optimism that the party’s candidates would emerge victorious in the election.
