Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has picked the expression of interest and nomination. forms to run for Nigeria’s highest office on the platform of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC at the national secretariat.Mr Buhari, who is running for the fourth time, complained that the N27.5million costof the forms was too exorbitant but that he was helpless in getting it reduced.“It’s a pity I couldn’t influence this amount to be put down as in the case of ladies and the disable that intend to participate. I always look left and right in our meetings but I could not read sympathy, so I kept my trap.
“But I felt heavily sorry for myself because I don’ want to go and ask somebody to pay for my nomination forms, because I always try to pa myself, at least for the nomination.“N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so, whether I am on red, or green or even black please honour it otherwise I may lose thenomination.
“I was about to go to Kaduna this morning and I told the Chairman but he said in that case, you better pick your form and keep a straight face that means there is no excuse,”
Mr. Buhari said.The APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, told Mr. Buhari and his entourage that the party decided to make the nomination fees high “in order to separate the men from the boys”
