The Labour Party rescheduled the primary elections originally set for 27 and 29 May to 30 May.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the party previously set 27 May for the governorship and state Houses of Assembly primaries and 29 May for the presidential and National Assembly primaries.
“Consequently, all primaries for the offices of President, Governor, Senate, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly will now hold simultaneously on Saturday, May 30.
“This decision became necessary, following the coincidence of the earlier dates with two important national events.
