Ahead of the forthcoming
elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has
pegged the purchase of its governorship elections forms at N21m.
Rising from its 86th Emergency
National Executive Council, NEC, meeting at the party’s headquarters in Abuja,
PDP pegged the nomination at N20 million and the expression of interest form at
N1 million.
Speaking after the meeting, PDP’s
National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, explained that the party
decided to increase the price of forms because the cost of conducting primary
election was very high.
He, however, assured that the
party would conduct a free, fair and credible primary in Bayelsa and Kogi
states to produce credible candidates in the coming months.
“The return of expression of
interest/nomination forms would commence on Monday, June 24 and close on
Wednesday, July 24 at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja,” he added.
Also, a document signed by PDP
National Organizing Secretary, Col. Austin Akobundu (RTD) disclosed that sales
and return of expression of interest/nomination forms would commence on Monday,
June 24 and close Wednesday, July 24 at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
PDP had sold its presidential
nomination and expression of interest form for the 2019 presidential election
at N2 million and N10 million respectively making a total of N12 million, while
that of governorship was sold for N1 million and N5 million, making a total of
N6 million.
