Adamu Garba, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has faulted the party’s price tag for its presidential nomination forms.
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.
“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.
“Don’t see me as individual called Adamu Garba, see YOU in me. You have same right as I. You can also decide to aspire for any office of your choice. If they try to turn me off and we let them, they’ll do to you too. This is our moment to show our collective resolve for Nigeria.”
