How I Gave Up Everything To Campaign For Buhari by smsshola(m): 8:25pm On Aug 07, 2015 |
A 22 year-old-girl Lola Oguntade has narrated
an amazing story of how she quit her job in a
bank and became a ‘chronic’ campaigner for
Muhammadu Buhari. In her interview granted to SaharaTV, Lola said
she gave up everything to campaign for
“Change” during Nigeria’s 2015 presidential
election.
The “Buhari girl” quit her job in a Nigerian
bank in order to focus on supporting the APC’s
presidential candidate in the March 28
election.
Oguntade was not joining or being funded by
any political party or Buhari’s campaign.
Lola said: “The majority of people are not on
social media, so I decided to talk to them on
markets, they also have their PVCs so they
should know about General Muhammadu
Buhari.
“I met somebody from the Facebook
campaigning team and they invited me to their
meeting. When I came they were just looking
at me and I understand that I was the
youngest one there.
“And they began to nominate official people for
campaigning and I raised my hand and said: I
want to be an assistance coordinator of this
group.
“Everybody looked at me: Who are you? You
have just come and want to be coordinator of
this group.”
“When I was giving my speech I said that as a
matter of fact I am not experienced. I have
passion for Nigeria, I have passion for General
Muhammadu Buhari, I am eager to sacrifice to
work for this organization.”
Then the young girl talked about the
desperation that came after shift of polls from
February 14 to March 28, 2015.
“After they postponed the campaign, after they
postponed the election then there was show
because the people were upset and we can’t
give up,” Lola said.
“We didn’t have money, and only the
encouragement from Facebook kept me going.
So when people said we don’t have money I
said don’t worry the God will provide.” |
