EX Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is encouraging corruption due to the high cost of its expression of interest and nomination form fees.

He made this disclosure on Monday while addressing journalists shortly after he observed the two Rakah obligatory Eld-Fitri prayers which signifies the end of the one month Ramadan fast.

Recall that the APC had pegged its presidential nomination forms at N100 million.

But Ladoja while addressing journalists at his Bodija Ibadan residence, insisted that the high cost of nomination form would have a negative effect on the nation’s economy.

Ladoja said the aspirants who spent N100m to purchase the presidential form and those who spent N50m to purchase the gubernatorial form, would be forced to embezzle public funds when they eventually assumed the office.

Ladoja maintained that the high cost of nomination forms will further promote corruption among the elected public officeholders. He added that the party is only encouraging candidates to steal after their emergence.
