Former Governor of Central Bank
of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo and former Minister of State for
Transportation, Mr. Emeka Okechukwu, were among the 14 aspirants who collected
and submitted their forms for the governorship race in Anambra under APGA
The APGA National Chairman,
Mr. Victor Umeh, said barely three days after the party invited aspirants
to declare interest in the race scheduled for November 16, no fewer than 14
persons had already collected the expression of interest form.
He said, “We have opened the
sale of the expression of interest forms from the 29 of July to August 2 and by
the close of work on August 2, 14 people have taken the expression of interest
forms.
“The people who have taken the
expression of interest forms will be expected to pick the nomination forms and
will be screened to face the primary; the form for males is N10m and to
encourage women to actively participate, they will pay N5m.
“We call on all the parties
that are involved in the Anambra State race to stick to the code of conduct
signed with the Independent National Electoral Commission and shun all acts
capable of causing confusion during the elections.”

Hmm! 10m just to contest for party primaries, these people will never cease to amuse Nigerians becos we re setting them up to loot our money or sought for trouble when they lost out in the race.
ReplyDeleteThe amount needed to pick the form, for me, is just too much. However, I am only happy the My Prof has decided to join APGA. But bros, make sure you are not here to win election and decamp to PDP o. Cos that would mean a political suncide.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome sir.
10m naira jst for primaries honestly this country is heading to doom there is no light at the end of the tunnel.What do u expect from anybody who spends that kind of money for primaries alone ofcourse when he win he will recover his money in hundred folds.this will also discourage competent willing contenders who do not have that kind of money
