Karimi is the Senator representing Kogi West at the National Assembly.
The forms have been obtained and presented to the Senator, signaling his re- election bid back to the Senate .
In a statement, Karimi expressed appreciation to the group.
The lawmaker described the gesture as a reflection of responsible citizenship, political goodwill and active grassroots participation in the political process.
Insiders revealed that the money for the form was raised through small donations ranging from N100 to N3,000 by members of the group who were made up of widows, farmers, apprentices, traders and students.
Karimi described the development as a true reflection of community ownership and participatory democracy.
According to him, the gesture goes beyond just contributions, representing a collective investment in a vision for open, transparent, qualitative and accountable leadership for the shared progress of the people of Kogi West.
The lawmaker added that his re-election bid is driven by a desire to continue his service to the people of Kogi West while praying for divine guidance in the pursuit of the goal.
The APC National Organising Secretary, Sulieman Argungu, on Tuesday in Abuja, declared the process for the sale of form open.
