Prior to the presidential primaries, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has made some significant changes to its election timelines. Debo Ologunagba, the party's national publicity secretary, made the announcement in a statement signed and uploaded on Twitter. The dates for the party's local government congresses, governorship primaries, and other activities were shifted as a result of this move.
