APC Nomination Fees Are Non-Refundable – Morka Makes It Clear At National Convention

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has clarified that the party expects aspirants to be fully aware of eligibility requirements, including the constituencies they intend to contest, prior to making payments for nomination forms.

According to Ireporter Online, Morka made the remarks on Friday during an appearance on Arise Television’s The Morning Show, emphasizing that payments for expression of interest and nomination forms are typically non-refundable. He noted that candidates should ensure they meet the necessary criteria before submitting any fees.

Morka added that although refunds are generally not provided, individuals who encounter issues may formally request reimbursement, which the party will review on a case-by-case basis. He highlighted that while the party usually presumes applicants understand the requirements, exceptions have been made historically under special circumstances.

He stated, “Normally, payments for expression of interest and nomination forms are not refundable. The party presumes that applicants know what they are applying for. If someone applies for a position outside their constituency, that responsibility lies with the applicant. However, there have been instances where refunds were issued for special considerations, and such requests will be given due consideration by the party.”
