The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has disclosed that it will take a Nigerian professor at least 100 years to save money in order to purchase the presidential form of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The union also disclosed that a professor will have to save money for 40 years to purchase the presidential form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
ASUU made these disclosures on Saturday.
Our correspondent recalls that the APC presidential nomination and expression of interest form was sold for N100 million.
That of the main opposition, PDP was sold at N40 million.
The union lamented that it was unfortunate that the best brains in Nigerian politics are being excluded through the high cost of the nomination forms.
It added that the culture of high nomination form fees will place Nigeria’s future in the hands of looters.
