"My refund now, before my legal team take action"
When confronted by other users for asking a refund for N20 he replied:
"Do you know what I went through before saving up to get that?"
Why Garba announced withdrawal
Despite announcing he raised N82 million, Garba said he withdrew from the race due to the high cost of obtaining APC expression of interest and nomination forms.
His words:
"The cost of the form, we believe this action is capable of over financialising our political space, institutionalizing vote-buying, encouraging corruption, and complete obliteration the youth and the poor from participation.
“When we raised this concern on several media fora, the party, however, believed the high cost of form will separate the serious contenders from unserious ones.
“This goes contrary to our belief that you can only separate serious contenders from unserious ones by the competency, capacity, credibility, strength of the programme, workable solutions, and sellable candidate to Nigeria through rapid intraparty debates and other high-level criteria reviews that can ensure we present a better leader for future for Nigeria."
