2019 Election Will Be The Least Expensive For APC

The minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has said the forthcoming 2019 elections will most likely be the least expensive elections for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said this is because the party has “performed and delivered”.

On how the APC will control how much other parties in the country spend on elections, the minister said, “INEC is the statutory body saddled with the responsibility of monitoring campaign expenditure, but one thing I can assure you is that for us, 2019 election will probably be the least expensive for us, because we have performed, we have delivered.

“Just talking to you now, we feed 8.2 million pupils everyday, one free meal a day, they have parents. I just told you what we’ve done in infrastructure.

“I was about to tell you what we have achieved in tackling insecurity. When we came in in 2015, 20 out of 27 local governments in Borno state alone were under the influence of Boko Haram, today not a single local government in the entire northeast.”
