APC Floats N100m Presidential Form — Politics for the Rich?
Wait… N100 million just to run for president?
That’s the conversation shaking Nigeria right now as the All Progressives Congress (APC) reportedly considers pegging its presidential nomination form at a staggering N100 million, with governorship forms set around N50 million.
Yes, you read that right.
If implemented, this would make it one of the most expensive political entry points in Nigeria’s history — and people are already asking serious questions.
Is this about raising party funds… or quietly shutting out younger and less wealthy aspirants?
Supporters argue that high fees help filter serious candidates and strengthen party structure. According to them, politics at that level requires resources, and only committed contenders should step forward.
But critics aren’t buying it.
They say this move could turn democracy into a game for the elite, where only the wealthy can afford to participate. For a country already battling economic challenges, many believe this sends the wrong message to everyday Nigerians with leadership ambitions.
And let’s be honest…
How many capable leaders can actually afford N100 million just to pick a form?
The bigger concern now is what this means for inclusion, fairness, and the future of Nigeria’s democracy.
So here’s the real question:
Is APC setting standards… or setting barriers?
As reactions pour in, one thing is certain — this decision, if finalized, will shape the political landscape in a big way ahead of upcoming elections.
