APC Presidential form fees: N2.8 Billion was generated. What happened to accountability?

June 9, 2022 by AFRIPOL Leave a Comment

APC presidential aspirants

Yes, the presidential primary for the nominee for All Progressive Party (APC) flagbearer is over. APC party nominated Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But it is still important to revisit some of the highlights of the process that gave APC its flag bearer. The outstanding one was the N100 million fees which was the cost to purchase presidential forms. The mathematics is quite simple. There were 28 forms purchased, therefore the total revenue generated was N2.8 billion naira. That’s quite a lump sum of money! If you divide it among 200 million Nigerians, you will make each person a multi-millionaire.

Although 23 presidential candidates were screened by All Progressive Party (APC), but total of 28 presidential forms were purchased by the presidential aspirants. Former President Jonathan and Akinwumi Adesina rejected the forms bought by coalitions that implored them to run for presidency.

In addition, Chris Ngige, minister of labour; Timipre Sylva, minister of state for petroleum: and Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) failed to submit their presidential forms.

The amount of money generated by APC Party from the candidates was N2.8 billion naira. The money is non refundable and APC Party is not accountable to anybody or institution on how money is to be spend. And there is no enquiry on how the candidates were able to come up with such amount of money to purchase the form.

This amount of money can be use to solve some of the country’s existential problems including out of children school, poverty elevation and host of other problems.

Names of the screened candidates were:.

  1. Chukwuemeka Uwaezuoke Nwajiuba
  2. Badaru Abubakar
  3. Robert A. Boroffice
  4. Uju Ken-Ohanenye
  5. Nicholas Felix
  6. Nweze David Umahi
  7. Ken Nnamani
  8. Gbolahan B. Bakare
  9. Ibikunle Amosun
  10. Ahmed B. Tinubu
  11. Ahmad Rufai Sani
  12. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi
  13. Oladimeji Sabon Bankole
  14. John Kayode Fayemi
  15. Godswill Obot Akpabio
  16. Yemi Osinbajo
  17. Rochas Anayo Okorocha
  18. Yahaya Bello
  19. Tein Jack-Rich
  20. Christopher Onu
  21. Ahmad Lawan
  22. Ben Ayade
  23. Ikeobasi Mokelu
