No Way For The Youths As APC Fixes Presidential Ticket At N100m

The ruling party (All Progressives Congress APC) has set a N100 million limit for expressions of interest and nomination forms for its presidential ticket.

COST OF APC NOMINATION FORMS

State House Of Assembly Goes For 2 Million Naira
House Of Representatives Goes For 10 Million Naira
Senate Goes For 20 Million Naira
Governorship Goes For 50 Million Naira
Presidency Goes For 100 Million Naira

The All Progressives Congress has set a N100 million budget for its presidential nomination and expression of interest forms.

Felix Morka, the party's national publicity secretary, made the announcement shortly after the 11th National Executive Meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.

The nomination form will cost N70 million, while the expression of interest form will cost N30 million.

In response to an earlier announcement by the party's national women's leader, Betta Edu, that women would receive free nomination forms, Morka stated that women are entitled to free nomination forms but must pay for expression of interest forms. Don't you think that this amount (100m) will discourage our youth from contesting for the presidency?. What are your thoughts? Discuss in the comment section below.

A presidential election costs about 25 to 30 billion Naira to run. If you and your supporters can't raise 100 million to buy ticket, then maybe you should run at all

Youth that is not capable of crowd funding campaign and election isn't ready for governance

Politics and Governance are two capital intensive ventures


.

The youths are busy on Twitter , Instagram , Facebook-Meta , Whatsapp , Snapchat and TikTok

Lol dem think say Politics na Bet9jaa...

Go carry am for N10 naira na.

Besides, I thought donors have been springing up recently endorsing and raising money in support of some clowns left, right and centre recently. Those donors should be able to raise N10 B for their candidates na. Shebi their destinies are tied to the presidents.

Meanwhile, where are those clowns always comparing Nigeria situation with other countries in terms of how things are easy. They should come tell us the cost of nomination forms for the Republican and Democrats in US.

Youth has a 50% reduction in the fees which makes it 50m for everyone below 40 years.

However, that's too crazy a fee for a youth if you ask me.

Not only youths. People who made their money legitimately can't waste N100m on ordinary presidential ticket
