Refund nomination fees to douse tension, Niger governor tells APC

Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger state has advised the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to refund monies used in buying the expression of interest and nomination forms by aspirants to douse tension amidst crisis rocking the party across the country.

He disclosed this on Thursday during a consultative meeting the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party had with 2019 election governorship candidates, state chairmen and state secretaries at its national secretariat in Abuja.

“It is good that we are one united APC and together on one platform. I think we should start working together. We are already losing time even though it is not too late. We are going to come out in full force even though we cannot take things for granted.

“What is left now is for us to return to our states and start putting up formidable campaign structures to take off. Many have been asking when we are going to kick-start the campaign which is an indication that people still love the party. They cannot wait to see us start,” said Governor Bello.
