The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied newspaper reports that it has fixed the price of its presidential nomination form at ₦12million.

In a statement issued on Monday and signed by its National Organizing Secretary, Austin Akobundu, the party debunked the report, adding that its guidelines for the 2019 presidential primary election were not ready.

“We wish to state categorically that the party is still in the process of drawing up guidelines for its presidential primary election. It is therefore misleading to claim that it has listed its guidelines not to talk of the cost of nomination forms.

“At the appropriate time, proposals will be presented to the NEC of the party which will approve as it deems fit. Only then can one say that it has guidelines for the presidential primary election,” Akobundu said.

The statement revealed that the authentic guidelines for the presidential primary election would be released as soon as they were considered by the appropriate organs of the party.

Akobundu added that the National Working Committee (NWC) under the leadership of Prince Uche Secondus remained committed to adhering strictly to the party’s constitution which empowers the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to formulate guidelines for aspirants in any of its primaries.
