Imo APC Aspirant in Tears After Spending ₦10M, Ticket Awarded to Non-Form Buyer

An APC aspirant in Imo State has accused the party of rigging its State House of Assembly primary. He claims he spent over ₦10 million on nomination and interest forms but the ticket went to someone who never bought a form. In a video that went viral on social media, he described the process as “criminality.” He said six aspirants paid fees, yet the nomination was given to Doris Anyanwu, who never entered the race. He also alleged multiple unofficial payments and facilitation demands during the primary. He vowed to challenge the outcome and called on party leaders to investigate. The Imo APC chapter has denied the allegations. It labelled him a disgruntled aspirant and said all winners were chosen transparently through a direct primary system. The episode has reignited debate over high costs and transparency in Nigerian elections.
