The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, through an official release on Tuesday in Abuja, showed the review followed extensive consultations with party leaders, aspirants and stakeholders across the country.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that under the revised structure, the presidential form now goes for N90 million, governorship, N30 million; Senate, N10 million; House of Representatives, N5 million; and State Assembly, N2 million. NAN also reports that the party retained its concession policy, offering a 50 per cent discount to youths aged 18 to 35 and 25 per cent to women and persons with disabilities.
Based on the timetable, nomination forms will be sold from May 1 to May 4, while completed form submission runs from May 6 to May 13. “Screening of aspirants is scheduled for May 14 and May 15, with results published on May 17, while appeals hold from May 18 to May 19. “The final list of cleared aspirants will be published on May 20, ahead of State Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate primaries on May 21.
