Aspirants for various political positions on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed grave concerns over the exorbitant cost of purchasing the party’s nomination forms for the 2019 general elections.

Speaking under the aegies of Conerned APC Aspirants, the aspirants wondered the rationale behind the review in the prices, for a party that prides itself as progressive-minded.

According to them, the hike in the price of nomination forms was a manifestation of corruption that needed not to see the light of the day. Hence, they urged President Buhari to prevail on the National Working Committee (NWC) to reduce the price in order to accommodate all interest groups, especially the youth.

Speaking for the aspirants, Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi, while addressing the press at Agura Hotel, Garki, Abuja, also wondered why different methods were adopted for the nomination of presidential candidate and candidates for other elections.

While reaffirming the support of the Group for the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, Comrade Ogenyi said his group favoured direct primaries to nominate candidates for all positions.
