TURAKI-LED PDP DENIES BLOCKING PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS FROM PURCHASING NOMINATION FORMS. (PHOTO).


 The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Kabiru Turaki, says all aspirants are free to obtain its presidential nomination forms.


In a statement issued on Thursday, Ini Ememobong, spokesperson for the Turaki PDP faction, said allegations that party officials prevented presidential hopefuls from purchasing nomination and expression of interest forms are unfounded.


Ememobong said the party recently granted an extension for the purchase and submission of nomination forms following appeals from members.


“We state clearly that the Interim National Working Committee is not aware of any hindrance by the party through its officials to prevent anybody from purchasing the forms,” the statement reads.


“By the amended timetable, the last date for purchase and return of completed forms is Friday, 22nd May 2026, and the special screening for those yet to be screened is on Saturday, 23rd May 2026.


He said while the party had zoned the presidential ticket to aspirants from southern Nigeria, the constitutional right to seek elective office cannot be constrained by zoning arrangements or other regional agreements.


“To this end, we urge the public to discountenance any story alleging that the party is preventing people from purchasing forms. We reiterate that our forms are still available during the period specified in the amended timetable, and all Nigerians seeking to genuinely contest on our platform are free to obtain, fill, and return their forms,” he said.


On Sunday, the Turaki-led PDP announced that it would screen former President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole presidential aspirant.


But on Tuesday, the party waived the screening requirements for the former president.


Babangida Aliyu, former governor of Niger state and member of the PDP screening committee, said Jonathan, being a former president, does not need to undergo screening.
