Voice Of The People

29/03/2026

I join the rest of our country to celebrate His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on his 74th birthday anniversary.

H.E. President Tinubu has led our country with uncommon courage, wisdom and tact these past years. We acknowledge the gains from his bold economic reforms, especially the appreciable rise in revenue, which has contributed to infrastructural growth across subnationals.

On behalf of myself and my colleagues at the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF), I wish Mr. President good health, more grace, and longer life as he continues to work hard to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda.

HE AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON
Governor, Kwara State/ Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF)

PRESS STATEMENT

APC DISMISSES FAKE NEWS ON “PRICE OF 2027 ELECTION NOMINATION FORMS”

The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a false and misleading report circulating in sections of the media regarding a purported “price list” for expression of interest and nomination forms for the 2027 General Elections.

The APC states categorically that the report is FAKE, and did not emanate from the Party. To be clear, no decision or announcement has been made on the sale or pricing of forms for the 2027 elections. The report is a mere figment of the writer’s mischievous imagination.

We urge Party members, the media, and the general public to disregard the report in its entirety.

Signed:

Felix Morka, CON
National Publicity Secretary
