The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied reports claiming it has fixed prices for expression of interest and nomination forms ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The report, which circulated widely on Friday, alleged that presidential aspirants would pay ₦200 million for nomination forms, while state assembly aspirants would pay ₦20 million.
The ruling party, however, described the claim as false and misleading, stating that no decision has been taken on the matter.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the purported price list did not originate from the party.
“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a false and misleading report circulating in sections of the media regarding a purported ‘price list’ for expression of interest and nomination forms for the 2027 General Elections. “The APC states categorically that the report is FAKE, and did not emanate from the Party,” Morka said.
He maintained that the party has neither discussed nor approved any pricing for the 2027 election forms.
“To be clear, no decision or announcement has been made on the sale or pricing of forms for the 2027 elections,” he said, describing the report as “a mere figment of the writer’s mischievous imagination.”
The APC urged its members, the media and the public to disregard the report.
