This has, however, led Nigerians to criticise the party for the huge sum of its presidential form, wondering if the party was operating from a different country and if it was not aware of the current economic situation in the land. jamb results

Clarifying the development, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka while speaking in an interview on Channels Television, said, “What is the current situation in the country? We still live in a country where there are people who make legitimate money.”

“The party is not for the rich. I just told you that for instance, any woman who wants to run for the office of the President is not paying the full amount. The youths as well.”

When asked who advised the party on the price tags, he said, “The party advised the party. The party thinks that…and made the decision that the value put on these forms are justified.”

“But youths who are within 25 to 50 also have the advantage of a 50 per cent discount for all positions, even the office of the President. We receive that nomination form you talk about at 50%. So, they’ll pay the expression of interest, plus 50 per cent of the N70m.”
