Buhari Buys Nomination Form For N27M

Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has shelled out N27 million to purchase a presidential nomination form for the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC)

Following the official declaration of his presidential ambition yesterday, October 15, former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has today shelled out N27 million for the expression of interest and nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to enable him contest for the Nigeria’s apex office.

Buhari reportedly said that though the fees were exorbitant, he had no choice but to buy the forms.

He said:

“It’s a pity I couldn’t influence this amount to be put down ‎as in the case of ladies and the disable that intend to participate. I always look left and right in our meetings but I could not read sympathy, so I kept my trap.”

“But I felt heavily sorry for myself because I don’t want to go and ask somebody to pay for my nomination forms, because I always try to pay myself, at least for the nomination.”

“N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so, whether I am on red, or green or even black please honour it otherwise I may lose the nomination.

“I was about to go to Kaduna this morning and I told the Chairman but he said in that case, you better pick your form and keep a straight face that means there is no excuse,”

The APC National Chairman, John Oyegun is said to have told the former head of state that the nomination fees were made high so as to “separate the men from the boys”.
