The national chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Alhaji Falalu Bello, has cautioned members of the public about the fees in circulation.

He described a circular pegging its nomination fees for elective public offices at a certain amount as fraudulent.

Bello, in a statement in Abuja, on Monday, and made available to Tribune Online, said the purported fees in circulation were “N500,000 and N200,000 for presidential and governorship positions respectively.”

“N100,000 and N80,000 for Senatorial and House of Representatives; while N70,000 is for House of Assembly seats.”

He said: “The attention of the PRP has been drawn to a fraudulent circular designed and circulated by some duplicitous elements that intend to scam unsuspecting members of the public.

“For the records, this crooked circular did not emanate from the PRP. It is a handiwork of mischief makers who are bent on creating confusion so as to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. The party, therefore, cautions the public on the said publication,” Bello stated.

The national chairman said in compliance with the notice of the 2023 general elections released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the PRP on April 16, published guidelines for the sale and cost of its forms.

He said the cost of the nomination forms were: House of Assembly -N100, 000; House of Representatives – N250,000; Senate – N1,500,000; Governor-N2,500,000 and President-N10,000,000.

Bello said all aspirants living with disabilities will be offered nomination and expression of interest forms free of charge while female aspirants will be charged only 50 per cent of the stipulated costs for nomination and expression of interest forms.
