The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) warns state chairmen and other party officials against demanding fees for the registration of support groups. The party says the registration process is free and instructs officials not to impose charges on groups seeking registration.

The two outlets frame the issue similarly, focusing on the NDC’s directive to prevent fee-taking during party processes. Both reports emphasize that the NDC is communicating a clear position that support group registration should not involve payments to party officers. Neither article provides additional details such as enforcement steps, the amount of any alleged fees, or timelines for registration. The coverage mainly reflects the party’s warning and its claim that the process is free.
