Section 91[9] of the Electoral Act

No individual or other entity shall donate more than one million Naira to any candidate. It is an offence punishable by fine or terms of imprisonment to contravene the law.


Mr Tunde Ayeni - N2billion
Chairman of SIFAX group - 100million.
Transport and Aviation sector - N1billion,
Agriculture - N500million
Power sector - N500m.
Board of the Shelter Development Limited - N250million
Construction sector - N310million.
Road Construction players - N250million
National Automative Association - N450million.
Rivers state PDP Chapter - N50million

The mind boggling amounts donated during the recent fundraising for the current Nigerian President is both obscene and immoral. These individuals and entities donating funds running into Billions of Naira expect to recoup their investments by taking such costly gamble.

They expect the returns on their investments to come at our expense in all sectors of the economy viz Power, Works, Petroleum etc. In the past Nigerians could only watch as the political class mortgages the future of the generation unborn, but not now

Nigerians speak up, these donations contravene our laws and should be investigated. If this does not work....REMEMBER THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE POWER TO USE YOUR VOTES TO MAKE A CHANGE

hmmmmm

Money is power, power is money n PDP stands for power. U no, money no be problem ... GEJ till 2019!!!

temitemi1:
Money is power, GEJ beyond 2019 at Kirikiri!!!

True talk

this just shows the high level of corruption in this country and those supporting it.

It is not the level of corruption that is most worrisome but the impunity applied to carry it out without thought of any consequences for breaking the law. How did we get to this point?

This guy must go back to otuoke next year. Buhari didn't spend kobo and he won apc primary

Don't expect pdp supporters to have enough moral consciousness to object to this obscenity. Birds of a feather...

But amechi sponsors buhari.

Which part of the law does it contravene? I am not supporting GEJ but if they feel he has created an environment for their sector to succed and decide to show appreciation, i dont see anything wrong with that. Unless the EFCC indict any of them.

APC called for donation too from the masses. These people are giving their money. What of those that borrowed money from the bank to buy ticket.

Do you know how much other APC politicians have invested in APC and are still ready to invest more? They cant openly say how much they are investing because Nigerians can attack them.

Ask someone to help you read the first paragraph of the thread just in case you cannot see properly

GEJ also didn't spend a kobo to win primary. Buhari told the world that he stole, sorry I meant he borrowed 27 million naira to by form, nobody raised eyebrows.
Wait o o, Why this panic by APC? The battle just begun. No be mouth.

Was the money for Gej or the party?

Jerry Gana and friends - N5bn.

What PDP has done is illegal but they can always say that the money is for the entire PDP national campaign not just for Presidential.

Rivers state PDP Chapter - N50million

Does a party donate to itself? Is it the party contesting as President? Remember tomorrow...... your descendants will ask you to give account of how you tried to mortgage their future by supporting corruption

Is it only presidential elections that the party has in 2015?

What was the fund raising dinner organized for? what did the donors state that they were donating towards? To your local government election abi?

We have more than enough law enforcement agencies, some with overlapping roles. I hope either INEC should report the donors or the agencies do the needful.

But WHO WILL BELL THE CAT?

You got to this point when you voted Jonathan in 2011.

Even if this act is not immoral and against the laws of the land, why is a party planning to use 21billion to stay in power in the midst of dwindlling national revenue and insecurity?

If the party as done so well like we have been made to belief, will they still be required to spend this much to convince Nigerians?

The democracy Nigeria is practicing itself encourages corruption. While I do not see how the opposition will make any much difference, it will amount to foolishness to continue with the status quo that has brought retrogresssion in the last 16yrs.

Good point! Good Point

PDP rats will not see anything wrong with this immorality even though they know it contravenes an electoral law.

My understanding is that the donations are for PDP as a party and parties are funded through donations since it is not a business organisation. The law referred to talks of individuals and PDP is not an individual.

How much does a refinery cost please? Why can't Jonathan organise a fund raiser for capital projects?

There is a clear difference between donating to a candidate and donations to a political party. The law is clear on that and President Jonathan hasn't constituted his campaign team yet. So all donations are to the party and there's no limit to the amount that a political party can take

This your comment make sense.

Plenty money dey for this country

I tell you

We all know that the corrupt elite will pour/invest all their stolen wealth just to see that Jonathan is not defeated. This election is a contest between the Rich Oppressors backed PDP/Jonathan and the Poor Oppressed backed Muhammadu Buhari/APC. By the grace of God we shall overcome whether they abuse the laws or not

Truly a fight between the oppressed and their oppressors

Nigerians! vote for change

Jonathan is so un-intelligent; he has no knowledge of everything, including the constitution that's there to guide him.

How much was squandered in the just concluded APC presidential primaries?

Amaechi alone was said to have spent about 11 billion naira to secure Buhari's 3000 delegate win. That will be on average 4 million per vote.

Going at this rate the APC will require trillions in the campaingn proper.
