Aspirants contending for President on the platform of the Providence Peoples’ Congress (PPC), will pay N200,000 for the nomination form, the party announced on Wednesday in Jos.

The aspirants are also expected to bring a recommendation letter from their spiritual fathers or any other reputable clergy man, according to PPC chairman in Plateau, Kenang Gyang-Filani.

Gyang-Filani, in a speech to inaugurate the Plateau chapter of the party, said that the group had also opted for Option A4 in determining its candidates for the 2019 polls.

“We opted for Option A4 to empower the people at the grassroots to determine those qualified to occupy elective offices,” she said.

The chairman stated that aspirants for the State House of Assembly would pay N50,000, while those interested in contesting the House of Representatives and Senate would pay N150,000 and N200,000 respectively.

Those seeking governorship seats would be expected to cough out N250,000, he added.

Gyang-Filani said that the party congresses would be conducted between September and October, in line with INEC’s time table, and advised interested members to come for the forms.

The chairman said that the party would soon announce a date for its one-day prayer toward the success of its congresses and general elections, adding that its major concern was to correct injustices, corruption and other vices that had frustrated Nigeria’s march to greatness.
