The general overseer, however, added that he understood that the price fixed for the purchase of the forms by executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as part of efforts to fortify and make the party “formidable”.
In His Words “Talking of the cost, there is a price to pay for everything. I was not part of the decision-making process, but if I’m going to apply for anything and they say this is the way to go about it, the price has to be paid. It is like going to a school or university; you pay a fee. “Do I consider that fee or cost very cheap? Not at all. Not in the least. Just as everything in life that is highly valued comes with a price, that was the price the party fixed and those who want to join will have to pay the same price.”
100M FORM FEE WAS PROVIDED BY GOD
He further revealed the source of the funds as he said the N100 million form fee was provided by God. He said he paid nothing for the expression of interest out of his pocket without having to borrow money or beg from individuals or groups like other aspirants, Bakare said God provided the funds and will continue to do so when the campaign starts proper. He added:
|“Money is the easy thing to trade. Yes, by the grace of God, we paid. Don’t forget that there are so many people who are even willing to pay on our behalf and so many people will give towards it and have given towards it”|
|“But whatever was transferred to the party’s account came from my account.”|
