For the Imo governorship race, the Labour Party (LP) has announced a decrease in the cost of the party’s nomination form fee.
The cost has been reduced from N25 million to N15 million, according to Peter Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council spokesman Kenneth Okonkwo, who confirmed it in a string of tweets on Tuesday.
Okonkwo earlier addressed rumors that the party would set its governorship nomination form fee at N25 million on Monday.
He asserted that the rumors are untrue and go against the party’s principles.
According to Naija News, there have been conflicting reactions to the Labour Party’s decision to price its governorship application for Imo state at N25 million.
However, Okonkwo assured the public that the Labour Party wouldn’t take that course of action on Monday by posting on his Twitter account.
The actor-turned-politician claimed that the alleged N25m was extravagant and would not encourage the development of a new Nigeria.
A competent leadership is preferable to encouraging swindlers to seize power, he continued, so the party would come up with a nomination fee that would be acceptable to the Nigerian people.
He acknowledged in a statement on Tuesday that the fee had been reduced.
The Party has decided to review the cost of nomination forms downwards for all positions taking into consideration the suggested price reduction, he wrote. “After due consultation with all the relevant stakeholders in the Party, and taking into consideration the overwhelming interest of Nigerians in our Party, and the necessity to birth a new Nigeria, and in view of the prevailing high cost of things in Nigeria, in line with our avowed disposition to carry Nigerians along in what we do, the Party has decided to review the cost of nomination forms downwards
To save our nation from the inept and dishonest leadership of the previous regime, we must work together.
The party’s governorship primary elections are scheduled to take place the following month, and 13 candidates have already obtained Nomination and Expression of Interest Forms.
