The National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement, outlined the approved fees for both the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms as follows: Senate N1.5m and N3.5m; House of Reps. N1m and N2m; House of Assembly N100k and N500k.

Ifoh also mentioned that the LP has exempted Female Aspirants and Persons With Disabilities (PWD) Aspirants from paying fees for the Expression of Interest Forms only. Additionally, he warned about the circulation of a fake timetable released by some expelled fraudulent former members of the party, aiming to defraud unsuspecting members of the public by selling fake forms.

“Just like they did and failed in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi states governorship elections where some people fell into their trap and were defrauded, we wish to state clearly that the timetable from these fraudsters did not emanate from the LP and that the so called account number in circulation is not known to the party.
“We warn that people should disregard the fraudulent group.

“The forms for the Bye-election can be obtained at the office of the National Organising Secretary, National Headquarters, No. 2 IBM Haruna Street, Utako, Abuja, where the proper accounts belonging to the party and other vital information regarding the coming elections will be made available to the aspirants and members of the public.

“Labour Party is also aware of selective attacks at some of our party leaders and aspirants in the Edo governorship polls by these fraudulent group aimed at discouraging them from the governorship race.

“We urge our aspirants to disregard their nuisance value and focus on the project before them. We also warn these falling villains to seek for alternate platform to vend their trade as Nigerians are already aware of their shameful gimmick which has since expired.”
