This was disclosed in a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ejimofor Opara.

The party also announced fees for expression of interest forms for various elective positions. It fixed the presidential form at N25 million, Senate at N6 million, House of Representatives at N4 million, governorship at N10 million, and State House of Assembly at N2 million.
APGA stated that the sale and return of expression of interest forms will run from April 20 to May 8, 2026.
