BREAKING: Nigeria’s APGA Ignites 2027 Race, Fixes Presidential Primaries for May 23, Slams ₦75 Million Ticket Fee

Nigeria’s 2027 presidential contest has burst into motion after the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) announced May 23, 2026, as the date for its presidential primaries.

In a move already stirring national debate, the party pegged its presidential nomination form at a staggering ₦75 million, raising fresh questions over the soaring cost of contesting power in Africa’s most populous nation.

Political observers say the announcement places APGA among the first parties to openly fire the starting gun for the next election cycle, while critics warn that such high fees could block capable but less wealthy contenders from entering the race.

With hardship biting millions of Nigerians, many citizens now ask whether leadership is becoming a privilege reserved for the rich.

As major parties prepare for battle, APGA’s bold declaration signals one thing clearly Nigeria’s road to 2027 has officially begun.
