Ahead of the forthcoming elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has pegged the purchase of its governorship elections forms at N21m.

Rising from its 86th Emergency National Executive Council, NEC, meeting at the party’s headquarters in Abuja, PDP pegged the nomination at N20 million and the expression of interest form at N1 million.

Speaking after the meeting, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, explained that the party decided to increase the price of forms because the cost of conducting primary election was very high.

He, however, assured that the party would conduct a free, fair and credible primary in Bayelsa and Kogi states to produce credible candidates in the coming months.

“The return of expression of interest/nomination forms would commence on Monday, June 24 and close on Wednesday, July 24 at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja,” he added.

Also, a document signed by PDP National Organizing Secretary, Col. Austin Akobundu (RTD) disclosed that sales and return of expression of interest/nomination forms would commence on Monday, June 24 and close Wednesday, July 24 at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

PDP had sold its presidential nomination and expression of interest form for the 2019 presidential election at N2 million and N10 million respectively making a total of N12 million, while that of governorship was sold for N1 million and N5 million, making a total of N6 million.

They are broke...

Its a pity

dey need more money

What changed in PDP?
Less than a year ago they sold same form before 6million but now it has gotten to 21million.
How can a popular person who is not financially buoyant get the form?
Politicians are too wicked in this Africa.

Really?
I know you tuniski, you always criticize APC for doing same but now you are supporting this same insanity because it is PDP. SMH.

When APC sold their forms at a higher price last year y'all were shouting but now see how your hypocrisy has made you show your true colour.

The problem in Nigeria today are the supporters of both PDP and APC. Y'all call white black and red, yellow.

Can quote any of my posts on cost of nomination please. I support pdp but, don't allude to me what I didn't say or do.

The bigger and viable political parties are the higher the cost comprehensively to be on the platform's ticket. It is not peculiar to any party.

Lol...You just proved how corrupt people it. It is always about the money for Pdp.
Had it been they were the ruling party, they would have increased the price to #200 million or so...

What a shame.

Hahahaha! Secondus is broke. No more free money from Mr INEC server.

What a shame.

APC’s guber form was 22.5m for 2019 general elections. Isn’t that even more than this?

That is not an excuse but justification.

Are you people now competing with them? I thought you people said Pdp was better?
Wailing hypocritical zombies.

tuniski:


Don't mind her.

Who is her? Just admit Pdp is broke due to the current Anti corruption war

tuniski:

That is not an excuse but justification.

You are indeed one of the enemy of the masses.. You guys never see anything wrong in whatever Pdp do...

No wonder they lost woefully during the last elections

This is madness. That is how corruption starts, they (politicians) will start borrowing money left right and centre to pay for the form, bribe electorate and god fathers for support , after the election they will start siphoning every dam penny that accrues the state without remorse.

Ultimatezlant:
But politics is never cash and carry world over.

Only the sitting governor or who he endorse with state fund can get the ticket

Why Ambode abi Sylva didn't get the tickets?

Ultimatezlant:
lol, or PDP needs money to run its activities.

Don't forget it never was this high when it was "viable" in power.

Now that atiku won't be cajoled again, the borno guy isn't their and wike is aggrieved its expected they look inward


A party that alleges its senators and reps went against it directives due to money inducement is broke

Wrong PDP was in power its nomination was the highest. Do you think any of the mushroom 80+ parties will get aspirants at 1m for presidential ticket let alone guber?

Ultimatezlant:
what changed was that their was atiku dollars less than a year ago and they badly wanted to make political point.

Now that atiku dollars isn't there they have to fend themselves

You don't get it do you?

helinues:


You are indeed one of the enemy of the masses.. You guys never see anything wrong in whatever Pdp do...

Are you not an enemy of yourself celebrating failure?
How woeful is winning 15 out of 29 states from previously winning 9 in 2015? You are pathetic!

Wailing hypocritical zombies.

Who are “you people”? You’re actually the one wailing here in this thread and you’re not doing it reasonably.
You literally can’t complain about PDP’s ticket prices when you support APC with bigger price. Period
