The Director-General of the All Progressives Congress, APC, States Assembly Forum, Dagogo Fubara, has accused the party of denying them aspirant nomination forms despite meeting the requirements.
Fubara made this allegation on Tuesday during a live interview programme on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.
He said it was not his first time running for national convention, stating that the organizers claimed that they printed limited copies of the forms.
“After paying for the forms and fulfilling all the necessary requirements, we were denied the opportunity to get the aspirant nomination forms.
“We all paid that money. They received the money and we went for clearance. We were cleared in accordance with the the rules and regulations of the convention. We were asked to go to the organizing department for the forms to be issued. We got there, they told me that they’ve exhausted forms and the announcement was made a day before I went for the convention.
“We started this system right from 2012. So I was happy that this convention will usher a lot of youngsters to come in and serve this party since President Bola Tinubu has nurtured us.
“We, more especially from the ACN extraction all these years see ourselves to be viable to go into elective positions.
“So we’re surprised when some microscopic few in the system said the forms have been exhausted,” he lamented.
