All Progressives Congress (APC) has raked in N315 million from sale of expression of interest and nomination forms from 14 aspirants jostling for the party’s ticket for the November 6 Anambra State governorship election.
Information gathered at the national secretariat of the party revealed that at the close of purchases and submission of the expression of interest and nomination forms yesterday, APC raked in the amount.
However, despite the 50 percent waiver given to prospective female aspirants, no woman aspirant indicated interest to purchase and contest.
Unlike in the 2017 governorship election when over 20 aspirants bought nomination forms, there was serious apprehension that only few aspirants would purchase the form.
