The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has begun screening of its governorship aspirants for Kogi and Bayelsa states ahead of the Nov.16 elections.

The party had raked in N693m from sales of nomination form to the aspirants vying for the two governorship seats in Bayelsa and Kogi.


No fewer than 21 aspirants from Bayelsa purchased the PDP form and 13 from Kogi.

During the last general elections, the PDP charged N5m for its governorship nomination form but jacked up the fee by almost 400 per cent this time around after citing rising costs of printing and logistics.

The screening of the aspirants taking place simultaneously in two venues in Abuja would be followed by primary elections where two standard bearers of the party would emerge.

Aspirants from Bayelsa were undergoing the screening at the PDP national secretariat, while those from Kogi were being screened at Legacy House, the party’s presidential campaign office in Maitama.

Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State led the screening committee for Kogi, while his counterpart from Oyo State, Mr Seyi Makinde chaired that of Bayelsa.

Speaking with newsmen during the process, Makinde specifically assured that they would be fair to all aspirants with a view to ensuring that the party entered the main election as a strong and united entity.

“We don’t want a situation whereby our party will go into the election with a divided house. We want to go into the election as one big family with a view to retaining the state,” he said.

Speaking with journalists after the screening, former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and governorship aspirant in Bayelsa, Mr Timi Alaibe called on the delegates to think deeply before selecting their candidate.

Why won't politicians be willing to kill and do anything to grab that seat. The money involved in politics is just too much.

@those above

That's little above what APC collected from it senatorial aspirants during the last election. Politics is capital intensive

With such huge amount of money to purchase form, how do you expect the #NOT-TOO-YOUNG-TO-RUN policy to materialize. Where do you expect a fresh graduate to get such amount of money from?
While the outlook may seem bleak, there is actually much work that can be done to stop the influence of money in politics
It is an established fact that money politics is a global phenomenon, its trend in Nigeria's electoral system is worrisome.
Therefore, to avoid the brazen money politics in Nigeria, it is necessary for the government to regulate/subsidize the fee for the purchase of nomination form. In addition, another Solutions to Fight the Corruptive Influence of Money in Politics is that, the government should engage in a review of our campaign fund/finance position during election.
Lastly, Vote buying is rarely an isolated action, and it perpetuates corruption throughout the entire political system. When a candidate chooses to pay for support, rather than compete fairly for votes, they show a disregard for democratic norms and a willingness to use illegal means.

That doesn't mean PDP will complete their wadata office. Na to embezzle dem sabi. "PDP" - "Looters for the people"

If it is to donate for a humanitarian cause that figure will not reach quarter.

If all these Aspirants put this Money together, they would turn this our state into a great industrial headquarters of West Africa where all young Innovators in Nigeria will call the best place to give birth to great innovations.

790m can turn a State into a great technology capital of west Africa. Ignorant people who dont know how N760m can achieve a multi billion Industrial Park will not humbly ask to know how it can be achieved rather they will close their minds and say "It cant be done"

793m for gubernatorial tickets and somebody will come and complain of no money in circulation..Only God can deliver us from the hands of our greedy politicians .They have stock pike our money for electoral purpose

devil is mute,deaf and dumb.He can only canceled out comment,grunt,.Run up/down,sick and confused .O you devil fallen Evil one,U are in everlasting chain unto the day of judgement
