JUST IN: Adamu Garba Exclaims As #APC Pegs Presidential Nomination Form At #100m—-A presidential aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba has reacted to the party’s price tag for its presidential nomination forms.
This is coming after the party released fee schedule for Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for all elective positions in the 2023 general elections, with that of the presidential slated for N100 million.
The party had earlier announced that the aspirants seeking to contest for the 2023 presidency would pay 100m to buy the forms.
The APC explained that the nomination form would go for N70 million while the expression of interest form costs N30 million.
Reacting to the development, Garba, who recently announced his intention to join the presidential race said the price tag is tantamount to buying political offices.
He said this in a series of tweets following the announcement of the price for the nomination forms.
Garba urged Nigerians to condemn the development to save the country from being strangled by moneybags.
“100M for the form. Wow!”
100M for the form. Wow!

“If we don’t come together and use our collective power to save this country from strangulation of the moneybags, we are doing a great disservice to our generation and that of the future. We cannot continue to buy political offices in Nigeria, we need competent leaders come 2023, he tweeted.
