The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said there would be no extension of today\u2019s (Friday) deadline for political parties to submit names of their presidential candidates and running mates.<\/p>\n

Speaking with PUNCH, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, on Thursday insisted that the commission had not changed the deadline.<\/p>\n

Responding to if it was possible to get the number of political parties that had submitted the lists of candidates, Oyekanmi said, \u201cWe have to wait till 6pm, Friday 17th June (the deadline), to have the accurate figure. There will be no extension.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commission last month fixed June 9 as the deadline for parties to conduct their primaries and June 17 for submission of candidates\u2019 lists.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that the Peoples Democratic Party\u2019s presidential candidate, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, announced Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa<\/a> as his running mate on Thursday.<\/p>\n

PUNCH reported that as of 9:50pm on Thursday, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, had yet to announce his running mate amid controversy over a Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n

There were reports on Thursday that Tinubu<\/a> had submitted a name to INEC as his running mate, who according to the report, he would replace later.<\/p>\n

The Director of Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Bayo Onanuga, however, said he was not aware of the development.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cI spoke with the candidate yesterday (Wednesday). He hasn\u2019t told me whom he had in mind or who he is going to announce.\u201d<\/p>\n

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, could not be reached to confirm if a surrogate\u2019s name had been filed for Tinubu\u2019s running mate proved abortive as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

But a ranking member of the House of Representatives, James Faleke, said Tinubu was still consulting with the APC leaders, adding that there was no division in the party, PUNCH reports.<\/p>\n

Faleke, who is leader of the Tinubu Support Group, stated, \u201cI can assure you that the candidate is making proper consultations with the leaders of the party before deciding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
