Ebonyi APC Faces Backlash Over ₦30 Million Local Government Form Fee

The Ebonyi State APC has come under fire for pricing its local government chairmanship nomination form at ₦30 million, drawing sharp criticism from political analysts and civil society groups. The move is seen as excluding grassroots politicians and favoring the wealthy.

The controversy deepened when Osbourn Umahi, the son of former Governor David Umahi, purchased the form for ₦30 million. This development has raised concerns about political inclusivity and transparency at the grassroots level.
