Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Convener, Coalition of Civil Society for Good Governance (CCSGG), Comrade Okpanachi Jacob, has appealed to political parties to consider a reduction in the prices of nomination forms.
Okpanachi, who spoke in Abuja, on Friday, during an endorsement programme for notable aspirants for various elective offices, noted that the huge prices of nomination forms will lead to disenfranchisement by political aspirants, especially the youths.
According to him, this would automatically disqualify candidates of goodwill.
“We use this medium to appeal to political parties to be considerate on the cost of nomination forms for elective offices it will lead to disenfranchising candidates of goodwill without enough resources most especially the youths who are most affected by leadership dysfunction over the years as they still control a large portion of our voters’ demography.”
Meanwhile, the CSO endorsed their support for Dr Victor Alewo Adoji for Senate: Kogi East senatorial district, Senator Aliyu Abdullahi Sabi, Niger North senatorial district and Hon. Muhammed Gudaji Kazaure for house of representatives: Kazaure, Roni, Gwiwa, Yankwashi federal constituency, Jigawa State.
They noted that the endorsement is borne out of their long term research and aspirants profiling programme aimed at projecting notable Nigerians with distinct leadership qualities.
“In the light of these, all member CSO of this coalition and its over 3 million members across all 36 states of the federation shall mobilize their structure at all levels for our endorsed aspirants towards achieving their electoral success come 2023,” he added.
