NDC Form Costs ₦60m as Makinde Declares Run Thursday
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) pegs presidential forms at ₦60 million total—₦20 million for Expression of Interest and ₦40 million for nomination forms as the 2027 polls approach. Meanwhile, Governor Seyi Makinde declares his presidential ambition Thursday at "Unity Mega Rally Ibadan 2026" at historic Mapo Hall.
In Edo State, police arrested 55 suspected kidnappers and rescued 58 victims between March and May 2026, demonstrating intensified security operations amid rising crime. Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele warns Nigeria can no longer rely on borrowing for development, stressing the need for sustainable fiscal systems.
Political tensions continue with APC receiving 16 petitions for Rivers State House primary elections amid screening disputes. Speaker Mudashiru Obasa declares intent to contest Agege Federal Constituency seat after APC leaders urged him to join the race.
Will the ₦60 million form cost limit political diversity, or will aspirants find alternative paths to public office? With Makinde's formal declaration and ongoing political maneuvers, how will this reshape Nigeria's 2027 presidential race?
