The All Progressives Congress(APC) has pegged its presidential nomination and expression of interest forms at N100 million.
The party’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, disclosed this shortly after the 11th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party in Abuja, on Wednesday.
Recall that the party had while notifying the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of its activities said that its presidential nomination and expression of interest forms will go N45 million- N5 million for expression of interest form and N40 million for nomination form.
But Morka said the nomination form will now go for N70 million while expression of interest form will be N30 million.
Opposing an earlier announcement by the party’s national women leader, Betta Edu, that the women will get free forms, Morka said women are entitled to free nomination forms but will pay for their expression of interest forms.
Morka also said NEC has approved May 30 and 31 for the party’s presidential primaries.
He added that May 18 has been approved for governorship primaries, noting that sale of expression of interest and nomination forms would commence on Saturday, April 23.
