THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING NOMINATION FORMS FOR THE EDO GUBER RACE IS SET BY INEC.

A statement has been released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) concerning the forthcoming Edo State gubernatorial election.

The deadline for submitting nomination forms for candidates is Sunday, March 24, 2024, according to a statement released on Friday by Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the INEC Information and Voter Education Committee.

“Yesterday, we concluded our contract with the NFF.

“It was a pride and honour to coach the Super Eagles. It has been 22 months of immense dedication, sacrifice, emotion, and enormous enthusiasm. We feel a sense of fulfilment.

“We would like to express our gratitude to Sir Amaju Pinnick (the president who signed us), President Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Secretary Dayo Enebi, the NFF, all the Staff, and especially all the PLAYERS, with whom leading has been a great pleasure.

“Guys, we are thankful; it has been a privilege to be part of this family. We will miss you, but we will always be there for you, no matter where you are. A big hug to all of you,” Peseiro announced on his X handle.

Recall that Peseiro led the Super Eagles to the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire, where Nigeria came second after defeat in the final match against the host team.
