Monye picks up form ahead of ADC Presidential primary

Chukwuka Monye, one of the over seven aspirants on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has shown readiness for the party’s primary by picking an expression of interest and nomination forms.

In a statement, Director of Communications and Programmes, Ifenla Oligbinde, said the move indicated the party’s seriousness for the highest office in the land.

BESIDES, ADC has opened its doors to Nigerian youths, women and persons with disabilities through its 35 + 35 percent allocation for elective and appointive positions.

The party explained that forms are for free for the aforementioned categories, who want to run for office in the 2023 general elections, especially youths between the ages of 18 to 35.

ADC also fixed its presidential fee at N25 million, governorship at N12 million, Senate at N2.5 million, House of Reps at N1.5 million and State Assembly at N500 thousand.

The party noted that it was not surprising that the APC fixed its Expression of Interest and Nomination Form for presidential aspirants at N100 million.

Urging Nigerians to embrace the ADC, the party said nothing more could be expected of a “party, which is majorly being run by public funds.”

It noted: “We are not surprised at the high fees of forms released by other parties. These parties can afford to throw money around without any sense of responsibility because the money isn’t theirs to start with.

“When taxpayers’ money and the public fund have become heirloom to be passed from family to family, it is only normal for them to use embezzled money to purchase forms, so they can rig elections to secure their ill-gotten mandate.

“Nigerians must take a stand for responsible leadership, moving forward. No more standing on the fence, while others decide the future of our unborn generation.”
