The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State has started giving
out free forms to women and disabled persons vying for the position of
chairperson or councillor in the council areas.
According to
the organising secretary of the party, Alhaji Ahmed Lawal, the gesture
was enshrined in the party’s manifesto to carry everybody along
irrespective of their social background and gender.
He also said that the party would do more if disabled persons and women were willing to contest.
Ahmed
told DAILY POST at the party’s secretariat in Yola that the
commencement of selling of nomination form by the party was as a result
of election time table released by the state INEC.
He assured of
credible primaries and election that will be generally acceptable to all
as the party stands for justice and fairness to all.
“As you can
see, people are just coming to pick forms, any woman vying for any
position, her form is free; to pay for special interest form, that is
only 50,000 Naira”, he said.
