The Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) meeting which took place on Friday, 21 May, 2021 at Ikoyi was one of the longest in the history of the Council which is the highest decision body in Lagos politics. Deliberation was said to have lasted for about five or six hours in what a member described as a ‘very stormy session’.
As at the time the nomination closed, a total of 333 aspirants have collected forms to vie for the chairmanship positions in 57 councils. The total cost paid into the Lagos APC account by chairmanship aspirants alone is N666m. This is unprecedented in the history of the party, made more remarkable by the fact that the aspirants, except women and youth, paid N2 million each for nomination form. The N666m generated excludes Councillorship aspirants who pay N500,000 each for nomination forms, excluding the administration fee of N50,000, except for female aspirants, who get 50% off.
