Presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chris Ngige says his fans will support him financially in rasing the N100 million needed to procure the nomination and declaration of interest forms to contest the presidential election.
Ngige said he initially budgeted N50 million but now that the APC has hiked the price tag to N100m, his fans would support him financially.
The minister, who appeared on Channels Tv said he had no option but to comply with the position of the ruling party.
“Presidential aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party and other political parties may pay less for forms to contest elections because they are not in the ruling party.
“Whether I’m happy with paying that or I’m not happy with that, that is their position; they have done their calculation, they’ve done their work.
“For Adamu to say N100 million, he has seen certain things. I can tell you that and they have done the right thing by saying that the young ones have a 50 percent discount.
“For somebody like me, I was budgeting N50m – my supporters and I. But when the thing came out and it was N100million, they started calling me.”
