APC overpriced form is alliance to capture power – Ayu

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu has described the overpriced nomination forms of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as a fragmented alliance put together to capture power and inflict maximum pain on Nigerians, including their own members. 

In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Communication & Strategy, Simon Imobo-Tswam, Ayu said the pegging of the nomination forms at N100m, N50m, and N20m, amongst others, casts the ruling party in the image of hypocrites. 

“But in 2014, the PDP was in power and the economy was still booming. The incompetent APC presidency has now run the economy aground, making Nigeria the “Poverty Capital of the World.” How then can impoverished APC aspirants buy nominations at such prohibitively high costs? And yet, only recently he preached “Equal Opportunity” to them.”
 

“It is most insensitive, and mind-boggling. In fact, all those buying the N100m and N50m nomination forms should be investigated for suspected fraud.
 
“We, the PDP, are different. We are a mass movement for the Nigerian people. This is why our nomination fees are soft and democratic. When you compare us with the APC, the difference is clear. This is why we must return to power to save Nigerians from this insensitive government.”
