Dispelling Social Media Rumors on Election Costs

The ruling All Progressives Congress has moved swiftly to debunk a series of viral reports claiming to list the prices for expression of interest and nomination forms for the upcoming 2027 general elections. The controversy began on Friday when a graphic began circulating across digital platforms, alleging that presidential hopefuls would be required to pay 200 million Naira for forms, while those eyeing State Assembly seats would face a 20 million Naira fee. In a statement released on Saturday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, categorically stated that these figures are entirely fabricated and did not originate from any official party organ.

Official Party Stance on 2027 Preparations

Addressing the misinformation directly, Morka emphasized that the APC leadership has not yet entered the phase of determining the financial logistics for the 2027 electoral cycle. He clarified that no announcement has been made regarding the sale or pricing of forms, making the current viral list a "mere figment of the writer’s mischievous imagination." The party’s swift response is seen as an effort to prevent early political friction and financial speculation among aspirants who might be misled by unofficial sources. By taking this firm stance, the APC aims to maintain a controlled and transparent administrative process as it navigates the early stages of election planning.

Identifying the Source of Misleading Graphics

The fake report was presented in a professional-looking graphic format, a tactic often used by bad actors to lend an air of legitimacy to disinformation. Morka urged party members, media practitioners, and the general public to verify all party-related information through official APC communication channels before sharing. He noted that such reports are intended to create confusion and exploit the political curiosity of the public as the nation begins to look toward the next transition of power. The party has reiterated its commitment to following constitutional and internal due process before any formal price lists are published for public consumption.
