A presidential aspirant of the National Conscience Party (NCP), on Monday renounced his membership of the party over the high cost of its presidential candidacy forms.
Mr. Ikubese, while speaking to journalists in Akure, the Ondo State capital said he was dumping the party and renouncing his presidential aspiration on the platform of the NCP over alleged unconstitutional acts on the part of the party’s leadership.
He disclosed that the National Chairman of the party, and the secretary of the party were demanding a total sum of N7.4million from each presidential aspirant which he said violates the constitution of the party which was founded by the late legal luminary, Gani Fawehinmi.
“I am no longer NCP presidential aspirant due to the action of the national chairman and secretary of the party who mandated each aspirant to pay a sum of N7.4million to secure the party’s ticket,” Ikubese said.
