The high cost of governorship form by APC portends grave danger to our democracy and encourages corruption,just recently APC released a press statement which says we should set the pace as the ruling party for "change" put the cost of the nomination forms much higher, as follows: N45m for president, N22m for governor, N7m for Senate, N3.85m for House of Representatives and N850,000 for House of Assembly.

With the release of the cost for the nomination forms, the fears are heightening that the ruling party is pricing the electoral offices beyond the reach of the average Nigerian whose purpose of entering politics is to serve. The new trend of maintaining the high cost of the nomination forms is part of what is entrenching the politics of godfathers and rule of the rich and financiers.

This means that recruitment into political offices is solely dependent on money or those who have access to corrupt money. With this scenario in place, those who are in politics to make change possible find that they must first get financiers or the support of moneybags before they can start.

And this limits the independence of conduct in the affairs of states for candidates when they win as they are beholden to their financiers or godfathers as a way to avoid political crises in their states.

The situation is not good for the growth of democracy as the astronomical cost of nomination forms pose a great disadvantage to women and young people who effectively have been shut out of public offices by the high cost of purchasing nomination forms and campaigns.

form your own party then you fit sale forms for only 20k

Felix Dav shud come and tell us why

Those forms should be less than 20k and numbers streamlined with draw and further reduced with manifesto

As far as those forms are sold that amount, there will always be corruption in Nigeria system.
