APC<\/a> at a meeting of its National Executive Committee attended by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja announced the fees for its expression of interest and nomination forms for the 2023 General Elections.<\/p>\nThe fee of N100 million for presidential aspirants is inclusive of N30 million for the expression of interest form and N70 million for the nomination form.<\/p>\n
The party also fixed N50 million for governorship aspirants, N20 million and N10 million for senatorial and House of Representatives aspirants respectively, and N2 million for state House of Assembly aspirants.<\/p>\n
However, aspirants under 40 years will get a 50 per cent discount on the fees while women and persons living with disabilities will pay only for the expression of interest forms.<\/p>\n
Nigerians, especially on social media, were swift in condemning the fees, describing them as exorbitant and exclusionary.<\/p>\n
But Mr Adamu in an interview with the Voice of America (VOA) Hausa Service on Wednesday said those criticising the APC for the amount are members of the opposition who are trying to give the ruling party a bad name to hang it.<\/p>\n
Mr Adamu said the contest for the Nigerian presidency is not a contest of the motor park union.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a presidential aspirant cannot mobilise at least ten thousand supporters to raise such amount that person is not a serious contestant.,\u201d Mr Adamu said.<\/p>\n
Mr Adamu said when you\u2019re talking of the presidency of the country, it should not be mistaken with the position of an emir of a town.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are talking about the president of Nigeria, not the emir of your town. Now when the emir of your town dies the person seeking to replace him will spend more than N100 million for just one emirate, Mr Adamu said.<\/p>\n
Apart from this, there are so many leadership positions that will cost more than 100 million before he is included, he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Adamu also said in America if someone is contesting to be the president, his supporters will rally around states and contribute money for him to support his candidacy as he can also get a surplus from the donation.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, someone who is seeking to be president of Nigeria asked 10000 of his supporters each to contribute N10,000 how much will that be. If he lacked supporters to contribute he didn\u2019t deserve to contest, I didn\u2019t want to belittle you because the president of Nigeria is not the chairman of your village motor park.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to kill a dog you will give him a bad name, there is nothing to compare between seeking to be Nigeria\u2019s president and corruption using the cost of the form.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can not participate, there is no compulsion, if you don\u2019t have N100m you have no business with becoming president. Tell me which country will not fix reasonable numbers to contest the position of the president? No country that practices democracy like ours will not fix the amount to around N100m. In fact, how much is N100m?<\/p>\n
\u201cEven in the recent France election, how much did Macron pay? How much did Le pen pay to participate? How much did president Joe Biden pay in America? How much did former President Donald Trump Pay? This is just an attempt to dent our image, it is the opposition party that is doing that. It will not change our minds or reduce the cost of the nomination form. Anyone that wants to participate let him participate, that is the amount. When I was seeking to be the National Chairman of APC I paid N20 million, and other aspirants paid the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur party has principles, if you can follow the guidelines you can participate.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd another thing is our party is the ruling party, if we fix the amount less, the same opposition can sponsor some people to come and participate before you know court cases will arise everywhere. Let\u2019s see if any devil can pay N100m to sponsor some, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
