Female aspirants and Persons Living with Disabilities (PWD) seeking Expression of Interest Forms will be exempt from payment.

Furthermore, the party has disassociated itself from a fake timetable circulated by expelled former members aimed at defrauding unsuspecting individuals.

It warned against the deceitful tactics and clarified that the provided forms can only be obtained from the National Headquarters in Abuja.

The party also addressed reported attacks on its leaders and aspirants in the Edo governorship polls by the expelled individuals, advising its aspirants to remain focused and ignore such disruptions.

In a statement signed by Obiora Ifoh, national publicity secretary, the party said:

“We assure our aspirants to disregard their nuisance value and focus on the project before them.

”We also warn these falling villains to seek for alternate platform to vend their trade as Nigerians are already aware of their shameful gimmick which has since expired.”
