The All Progressives Congress (APC) has set the cost of its presidential nomination form for the 2027 General Elections at N100 million. Party National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka announced the timetable and schedule of activities on Monday in Abuja. The document was signed by the party's National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu. The release includes key dates for party primaries and other election-related events leading up to 2027. Morka stated that the timetable provides a clear roadmap for aspirants and stakeholders. The N100 million fee marks a significant increase from previous election cycles. The party did not provide a breakdown of how the fee would be applied or justify the amount in the statement. Other political parties have not yet disclosed their nomination fees for the 2027 elections. The APC's decision has sparked early debate on the accessibility of the presidential race to prospective candidates.
The APC demands N100 million for a presidential nomination form while many of its members earn less than N50,000 monthly. Felix Morka announced the fee without explaining how it aligns with the party's professed commitment to internal democracy. Sulaiman Argungu signed the timetable, embedding financial barriers into the party's 2027 process. This pricing excludes rank-and-file members from leadership contention, privileging only the wealthy.
