What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The People’s National Convention (PNC) has expressed strong disappointment with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for what they describe as a betrayal and neglect after its flagbearer, Bernard Mornah was disqualified from the December 7 presidential race.

According to the National Chairman of the party, Samson Awingobit, none of the leadership within the NDC, which was perceived as an ally to the PNC did reach out to the party after their disqualification.

“Could you imagine that since the time we did our election, the filing of our nomination and the Electoral Commission disqualified us, people who believe that my candidate, Bernard Mornah, is an ally to the NDC, could you believe nobody from the NDC, not even President Mahama, or Asiedu Nketia, or Fifi Kwetey or Omane Boamah - none of them called Bernard Mornah to sympathise with us,” he said in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosisen with Philip Osei Bonsu.

Mr Awingobit said that the party had thought that their disqualification from the presidential race was spearheaded by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) which influenced the Electoral Commission (EC).

However, he said the party was pleasantly surprised when the NPP’s flagbearer, Vice Dr Mahamudu Bawumia called to commiserate with them.
