I Can’t Afford N55m Presidential Ticket — Buhari Tells APC

Nigeria's president, Muhammadu Buhari has told the National Working Committee members of his party "All Progressive Congress" that N55 million is too high for him to afford in purchasing a presidential ticket.

According to the outlet, a member of the National Executive Committee of the party revealed that the President “has complained to the party that he could not afford it”.

The President had four years ago complained over the N27.5 million nomination forms for the Presidential ticket and had argued that if he had his way, he would have ensured downward review of the fees.

But the National Working Committee of the APC has reviewed the nomination forms upward to the tune of N55 million.

While the Presidential Nomination form goes for N50 million, the Expression of Interest Form costs N5 million.

The NEC source said that the President had told the NWC members that he was a salary earner, therefore he does not have such money to purchase the nomination forms of the party”

Also reviewed upward are the cost of nomination forms for the governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly forms.

For the APC governorship ticket, the party reviewed the nomination forms from N5.5 million to N22.5 million, senatorial ticket from N3.3 million to N8.5 million, House of Representatives from N2.2 million to N6.5 million and state House of Assembly from N550,000 to N1.1 million.##
