Former Jigawa State governor, and one of the founding fathers of the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Sule Lamido has said no opposition party can pay the amount fixed for the purchase of nomination form in the forthcoming local government election in the state.
Lamido stated this while reacting to the price of forms for the chairmen and councillors via his official Facebook page.
It was reported that the Jigawa State Independent Electoral Commission, JISIEC, has fixed the price for the nomination forms for the interested candidates.
The price includes five million Naira (N5 million ) for chairmanship and two million Naira for councillorship (N2 million).
He said the APC had already won the election before it was conducted because indirectly the party didnt want opposition parties to participate in the coming election.
