Sources at the ‘Buhari House’ headquarters of the APC told Prime Business Africa that Barrister Nwajiuba, the minister of State for Education, was the first to pick the form earlier on Wednesday morning through a proxy.

Governor Bello, who came in person to pick up his form, was seen tendering a bank teller evidence of his N100 million payment to the Director of Finance of the APC and subsequently endorsed at exactly 2.35 pm after which he proceeded to collect the nomination  and expression of interest forms.
