The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Sen. Iyorchia Ayu has alleged that only persons with fraudulent background can afford to procure the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential forms at N100m as demanded by the party.

Ayu said that only rogues can afford the N100m pegged as the Presidential Expression of Interest and Nomination forms in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Chairman of the main opposition party in a statement signed by Simon Imobo-Tswam SA to the National Chairman on Communication & Strategy, wondered why President Muhammadu Buhari who had to borrow N27m to procure his 2015 Presidential form had to hike the price by 370 percent.

According to Ayu, “The pegging of her nomination forms at N100m, N50m, N20m etc casts the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the image of rogues and hypocrites”. 

Ayu described the APC as a fragmented alliance put together to capture power and inflict maximum pain on Nigerians, including their own members. 

“Nigerians will recall how in 2014, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, now President and leader of the APC, told Nigerians that he had to borrow N27m to buy his nomination form. The same man, as leader of his party, has now sanctioned the sale of the same forms at N100m! I am told that’s an increase of N370 percent.

“But in 2014, the PDP was in power and the economy was still booming. The incompetent APC presidency has now run the economy aground, making Nigeria the “Poverty Capital of the World.” How then can impoverished APC aspirants buy nominations at such prohibitively high costs? And yet, only recently he preached “Equal Opportunity” to them”.

The Chairman said that it is an insensitive pricing as the APC has disenfranchised thousands of her youths, and dashed the hopes of millions of Nigerian youths who applauded President Buhari when he signed the Not Too Young To Run Bill into law in 2018. 

“It is most insensitive, and mind-boggling. In fact, all those buying the N100m and N50m nomination forms should be investigated for fraud”.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that it is a considerate party and a mass movement for the Nigerian people which explains why it’s nomination fees are soft and democratic.
