The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria has imposed a strict two-week deadline for submission of presidential, governorship, and National Assembly nomination forms, with presidential aspirants required to pay 100 million naira and governorship candidates 50 million naira. These deadlines and fees aim to finalize candidate lists ahead of the May primaries, shaping the party's lineup for the 2027 general elections. The high fees may affect the diversity of candidates able to contest within the APC.
