The Benue State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has started selling forms for people who want to run in the local government council elections.
This news came from the party’s publicity secretary, Oryina Orvaa, on Monday.
Here’s what he said:
The form to run for chairman costs N100,000. You need to pay this money into the party’s bank account. Also, you need to pay N50,000 at the State Secretariat to show you are really interested.
If you want to run for councillor, the form costs N70,000. Pay this into the party’s bank account, and N20,000 at the State Secretariat to show you are really interested.
But there’s good news for women! Women who want to run only need to pay the interest fee at the State Secretariat. They don’t have to pay for the nomination form itself.
You must buy and turn in your form by Saturday, August 24, 2024.
The party will start checking everyone’s applications on August 25, 2024.
If you want to be a chairman, you’ll have your screening in Makurdi at the party office. If you’re aiming to be a councillor, you’ll be screened at your area’s zonal headquarters.
Orvaa asked all party members to follow these rules because the party wants to win all the chairman and councillor seats in the upcoming local elections in Benue State.
