ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Dr. Constance Chiogo Ikokwu,
has called on political parties in Nigeria to either scrap or reduce the high cost of nomination forms for aspirants in the 2027 elections, advising that it would open the door to real leadership and help to expand access to women and People With Disabilities.
According to her, Nigeria’s political system cannot thrive behind a price tag, arguing that the high cost of party nomination forms has turned political participation into an exclusive club for the wealthy, shutting out capable women, young people, and PWDs.
Ikokwu, an aspirant seeking for election to represent Idemili Federal Constituency in Anambra State in the House of Representatives on the platform of the ADC, made the recommendation in a statement titled, “End The Paywall on Leadership: Let Competence, Not Cash, Decide our Candidates”, obtained by Arise News in Abuja.
She said if leadership is truly about service, then access to contest must not be determined by bank balance, but by vision, integrity, and the courage to lead.
