2027: APC Denounces 'Fraudulent' Fee Schedule for Candidate Nomination Forms

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has come out to refute a widely circulated report that outlines a purported "price list" for its expression of interest and nomination forms in advance of the 2027 general elections, according to a statement issued by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Saturday in Abuja.

Felix Morka, the APC's National Publicity Secretary, labeled the price list as "fake news" intended to deceive the public, emphasizing that the party has yet to discuss, let alone announce, the costs associated with electoral forms for the upcoming general election cycle.

The APC explicitly stated that the report is false and did not originate from the party, with Felix Morka clarifying that no decision or announcement has been made regarding the sale or pricing of forms for the 2027 elections.

The party's statement characterized the report as a product of the writer's "mischievous imagination" and urged party members, the media, and the general public to completely disregard the report.

A viral WhatsApp message had previously quoted the cost of the presidential nomination and expression of interest forms as N200m, while the cost for the State Assembly was listed as N20m.

During the 2023 election cycle, the APC faced criticism for setting the price of its presidential nomination form at N100 million, sparking discussions about the financial barriers to participating in Nigerian democracy.
