Ruling Party Confronts Misinformation Regarding 2027 Electoral Costs

The newly established national leadership of the All Progressives Congress has moved decisively to suppress rumors regarding a steep increase in the cost of contesting for public office. Since Friday, reports have circulated through various media channels suggesting that the ruling party had finalized a new, expensive pricing structure for its internal primary processes. According to the party’s official spokesperson, Felix Morka, these claims are categorically false and did not originate from any authorized administrative body within the organization. The prompt denial aims to prevent internal friction and public outcry over the perceived financial barriers to political participation.

Fabricated Price List Pegs Presidential Forms At Record Highs

The viral misinformation specifically alleged that the APC had pegged the presidential nomination form at a staggering N200 million, with governorship and senatorial forms listed at N150 million and N100 million respectively. Lower legislative positions, including the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly, were reportedly set at N70 million and N20 million. This purported price list sparked significant debate among political stakeholders who feared the monetization of the democratic process. However, the party has dismissed these figures as a mere figment of a mischievous imagination, asserting that no such financial deliberations have been concluded by the National Working Committee.

Official Warning Against Unverified Media Reports On Party Policy

In a strongly worded statement, National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka warned party members and the general public to remain vigilant against the spread of fake news. The party emphasized that any official announcement regarding the 2027 elections, including the sale and pricing of forms, would be communicated through formal and verified channels. By labeling the report as an attempt to mislead the electorate, the APC leadership is attempting to maintain institutional order following its recent national convention. This defensive stance highlights the growing challenge of managing digital misinformation in the lead up to major transition periods in Nigerian politics.
