The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will begin the sale of nomination and expression of interest forms on Tuesday, party sources have confirmed.

The sale of the forms was initially scheduled to begin on Saturday, but was postponed due to logistic and administrative challenges.

On Sunday, a source from the APC media office in Abuja told Channels TV that the challenges have been resolved and forms will be available from Tuesday.

The exorbitant cost of the APC nomination forms has attracted criticisms for the party. Nonetheless, many aspirants are eager to shell out humongous amounts to obtain the ruling party’s ticket.

APC fixed the cost of forms for presidential hopefuls  at N100 million, while governorship aspirants will buy for N50 million.

Senatorial, House of Representatives and State Assembly aspirants are required to obtain their forms at N20 million, N10 million and N2 million respectively.

Meanwhile,  APC women leader Betta Edu defended the prices of the forms, claiming it was done deliberately to weed out “unserious” aspirants who may just want to get in the mix as a cog in the party’s wheel of progress.
