An aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, has withdrawn from contesting the party’s presidential ticket.
Briefing
newsmen on Monday in Abuja, Garba said he withdrew from the race due to the
high cost of obtaining APC expression of interest and nomination forms for
presidency and the cost of running for the office of president.
According
to him, pegging the presidential form at N100 million would promote
financialisation and commercialization of the country’s political space and
that his decision not to obtain the APC’s presidential form followed due
consultation with his campaign team, which, he said, had generated N83.2
million in private and online donations.
He
stated that the fund generated from all quarters would be returned to the donor,
but without staing how he plans to do that.
Garba
also said his next political move would be announced in coming days, as according
to him, “We believe this action is capable of over financialising our political
space, institutionalizing vote-buying, encouraging corruption, and complete
obliteration the youth and the poor from participation.
