How Buhari Intends to Fund His Presidential Campaign

Former military Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), has said he would fund his presidential campaign principally from funds generated by friends, associates and well- wishers.

It also expected that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled states would contribute to his campaign should he secure the ticket of the party.

A close ally of Buhari who spoke in Abuja yesterday, said Buhari is not the typical rich Nigerian politician with loads of cash to spend.

He said: “Buhari is a poor man by the standards of the average Nigerian politician. I don’t know if you know that Buhari does not have a house in Abuja. He doesn’t have a house and sometimes I wonder what kind of human being he is.

“He doesn’t have properties all over the place. In fact, the only house he has is the one in Kaduna and in his native village Daura.”

Since he left office, the source said, Buhari has basically depended on hand outs from his friends and supporters.

The former head of state who picked his nomination form last week to run for the presidency, had complained that the cost of the form was exorbitant.

There are also speculations that he might not be able to fund his campaign.

But his ally said Buhari would run a very robust campaign which would see him spending millions on transport, consultations and other aspects of the electioneering.

“Buhari would not need money for ‘stomach infrastructure’ because the people freely mill around him.
He doesn’t need a hired crowd and they don’t need any money to come to him. In short, they are drawn to him naturally. There are friends, well wishers and cooperate bodies that are ready to contribute their pennies to make Buhari president because they believe in him. The good will is just tremendous,” the source said.

He said the declaration last Wednesday was an example of such affection from his followers. With some governors and party chieftains attending his declaration event, Buhari appears to be in an early lead as he seeks the party’s ticket.

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, and Kano State Governor, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, are the other top contenders for the APC ticket.

Since he left office, the source said, Buhari has basically depended on hand outs from his friends and supporters.

That armored SUV that saved is life:

1. Is provided to him by the Federal Government of Nigeria because of his title as ex-President of Nigeria.

2. Can be paid for by Buhari himself---if the Nigerian Government didn't provide him one--- his pensions alone could afford him one.

3. Is no where close to the figure you put up. Even level B-7 Protection for your car will cost you less than $100,000--- thats less than N15m.

I dont understand why y'all always feel the need to spread lies and rumors.

I really don't know why living on handouts from friends is a good qualification for a candidate for the Presidency!

I don't know when poverty, laziness and lack of industry became the desired qualities in a Presidential candidate!

[size=13pt]Childish propaganda only from
APC liars

Must you guys lie all the time?
Do you think Nigerians are fools?[/size]

Buhari will pay for his campaign by taking another bank loan!

Anyone who doesn't know that by now is on his own!

Those lazy, irresponsible, visionless, beggarly attributes is what our friends from APC call "not corrupt!"

Curruption is the Cancer affecting Nigeria and Nigerians...

Buhari is the Cure!

The PDP dogs will always cry on hearing the name of Buhari. We can understand your plight. But guess what, no amount of lies will stop him. The people know better now and they will kick out the shoeless man back to Otuoke by February 2015.
