By our reporter| The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), on Friday, said it does not regret pegging its presidential nomination form at N100m.
The party’s national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who made the disclosure while addressing State House Correspondents after presenting the Ekiti APC governorship candidate, Abiodun Oyebanji, to President Muhammadu Buhari, explained that the move was to ward off unserious contenders and raise sufficient funds ahead of the upcoming elections.
Adamu further stated that it is also to discourage parties that have no chance of winning elections from sponsoring individuals to play the role of spoilers.
The APC leader also revealed that the party has not yet taken a decision on the zoning of its presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
According to him, the decision on which part of the country should produce the party’s flagbearer was beyond him.
