The All Progressives Congress, APC, has released its schedule of activities and timetable for the 2023 general elections.
The party said this was done in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 (as amended) and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, timetable.
Recall that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the APC had met and transferred its powers to the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
Following this development the APC NEC, had fixed N100 million for its presidential nomination and expression of interest forms.
The APC governorship form costs N50 million; Senate, N20 million; House of Representatives, N10 million and State Houses of Assembly, N2 million.
However, despite the outcry from the general public, individuals, groups and aspirants, the ruling party has remained adamant on its price tags and is now looking forward to its primaries and other activities ahead of the elections.
In the party’s schedule, the prices list for its Expression of Interest and its Nomination Forms have remained the same.
The party also released its seven accounts from different Nigerian banks where aspirants are supposed to make their deposits.
Persons with disabilities, women and youths 40 years and below, are not expected to pay the price for the nomination forms in full. Women and persons with disabilities will only buy the Expression of Interest Forms, while they get the nomination forms for free. While the youths will pay half of nomination forms and make full payment for the Expression of interest forms.
