He highlighted that the party’s leadership is committed to ensuring a fair and equitable environment for all candidates taking part in the election.

He underlined that this initiative aims to foster communication between the party and government officials to analyze the progress and disputes confronted by various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
Additionally, Basiru noted that the NWC has assessed the current e-registration process for party members, indicating that the consultants responsible for this project have been engaged.
He validated that the necessary equipment and software have been procured to facilitate a smooth execution of the registration exercise.
“Our commitment is that before the next election, we would have the register that has integrity and will also be useful for the purposes of accessing the demographics within the party,” he revealed.
Recall that the APC raised N350 million through the sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to seven candidates vying for the governorship position in Anambra. The Nomination modality was priced at N40 million, while the Expression of Interest modality was available for N10 million.
