Ahead of Tuesday’s deadline for the sale of nomination and expression of interest forms, there has been a rush by aspirants as Senate President Ahmad Lawan, obtained his copy on Monday in Abuja.
The International Conference Centre, Abuja, was agog with activities as several aspirants vying for various electoral offices stormed the venue to obtain their forms at the last minute.
