The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday said it did not demand N12million for presidential aspirants to pick up nomination forms.
The party, which disclosed this in a statement signed by its National Organising Secretary, Austin Akobundu, added that its guidelines for 2019 presidential primary election is not yet ready.
Akobundu said that the clarification became necessary following a publication by a national newspaper titled ‘PDP list guidelines for presidential aspirants, demands N12m for forms.
He noted that the authentic guidelines for PDP presidential primary election will be released as soon as they are considered by the organs of the party.
“We wish to state categorically that the Party is still in the process of drawing up the guidelines for its presidential primary election. It is therefore misleading to claim that the party has ‘listed its guidelines’ not to talk of the cost of nomination forms.
“At the appropriate time, the proposals will be presented to NEC of the Party which will approve as it deems fit. Only then can one say that it has the guidelines for the 2018 presidential primary election,” he said.
