2023: Education Minister, Emeka Nwajiuba ‘Buys’ N100m APC Presidential Form

The Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba has become the first person to pick the N100million nomination form to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba Joins Presidential Race

Abubakar Usman, the special assistant on new media to senate president Ahmad Lawan, disclosed this via his Twitter page on Wednesday.

According to him, a support group known as Project Nigeria bought the expression of interest form which cost N30 million, and the N70million nomination form for the minister to join the presidential race.

Usman wrote, “The Minister of State for Education, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba becomes the first person to pick the APC Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the APC Presidential Primary as a group of Nigerians raised over N100m from where they purchased the forms for him.”

KanyiDaily recalls that APC had warned that anyone who does not have the “sufficient base” to raise N100 million has no business contesting for the presidency.
