90 Year Old Woman Donates Her N1m Life Savings To Buhari's Campaign by pacesetter939: 2:27am On Jan 28, 2015
Meet this 90-year-old woman named Hajia Fadimatu Mai Talle Tara who reportedly waited 9 hours for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to come to Birnin Kebbi, capital of Kebbi State, for his rally and donated 1 million Naira, her life savings for his campaign.

Buhari was so moved by her kind gesture that he shed tears, according to Babangida Ruma, a key member of late President Umar Musa Yar’adua K34 group.

Mr. Buhari who was in Kebbi last week initially refused to accept the old woman’s donation out of sympathy, but she compelled him to accept it.

We will keep you posted on any development. A 90-year-old has reportedly shown her support by donating her life savings to help the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress party (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari come tops at the February 14 pool.

According to unconfirmed reports, the woman has donated her life savings of the sum of N1m, to the Buhari support organization. ‘

A Twitter user revealed this with a photo of the woman. “90 years old woman who donated her life savings of 1 Million naira to the Buhari support organization. I am in tear,” the user with the handle @MusadiqZ writes.

The report has not been confirmed as we are still expecting an official statement from Buhari’s campaign team regarding the matter.

Scope! Na so dem dey use wash ppl head. Her offspring had better be comfortable financially else it's d height of hypocrisy, leaving ur burning house to put out fire in anoda! Cutting off her nose to spite her face!
Again I don't blame her, at 90 she's old enuf to be Mr Buhari's mother so since her children are supposed to be leaders of tomorrow, that's d prophecy come to fruition in his candidacy!
Desperate politicians will do anything to garner sympathy, sotay dem go worry old woman for village to pose...ta!

kudos grandma! U gave ur widow's mite which is a thousand times better and cleaner than the 21 billion donated by the thieving PDP members.

A government and leadership that does not even see that Nigeria is in trouble. While majority of
our people wallow in abject poverty, and the
gap in inequality gets ever wider by the day,
yet they basked in self-celebration of
imagined accomplishments. How can a
party or a government even begin to solve a
problem that it does not believe exist?

Is like you didnt understand my post and am disappointed in you for calling this charity after you read this between the lines as you advised me to read... This is called political donation and not charity donation. If i am not wrong, if you cross check with this woman community 90% there are suffering.(You can prove me wrong)

So political campaign is now charity organisation that an old woman like her age should be donating for abi

Can you tell me what is good in giving her life saving for campaign donation that will end next month

Cant she donate the money to motherless home or less privilege just like old age people in develop countries usually do

Maybe you are thinking i am sentimental because she donated it for Buhari, Even if it is President Jonathan i will still say the same thing.

Instead we should join hands together and condemn some barbaric things in my nation Nigeria like unreasonable donation like this but people like you admire it which is bad

Can you imagine what the 1 million will do for the people in her community or family who needs less than 50k

If my late grand parents are still alive and they did something like this during this kind of era, I wont waste my little money to attend their burial at all because donating that kind of money into politics is bad with their age when they can use the money to help people in their village

I am not insane that i will wasted 100k for campaign donation when people around me (family or friends or community) are suffering..

How do you think that developed countries like USA/UK/Canada etc get developed?

Do you think is their federal/state government that developed those country alone

Able citizens with excess riches assisted their government in developing it by donating some of their money to develop their community or contributed by building or doing things for the community without giving the money to their federal/state government, Even those who are about to die still will part of their money for their community so that people there can feel part of it..

Do you know that it is only in my nation Nigeria that the road that leads to the millionaires, Billionaires home town is not good and not even tiled at all and majority of children there dont have sound education.. ( tell me cant they help them with their little wealth)

If you want change, All these people (either pdp or apc, etc) cant give us change at all because the same money donated for them have sent some to untimely death and life time injury

If you not clear about my previous post, am sure with this you will understand where i am coming from and where i am going to because i have gone pass doing or partaking in politics

Not everyone is greedy,individualistic, insincere, tightfisted and mentally lazy like you.
Unfortunately,you are in the majority in an empty space called Nigeria.
I am very sure,you can kill yourself about the US presidental election without knowing how the candidates are being funded.

Itz in PDP to portray GOOD things as evil....
Cos PDP itself means evil and doesnt wish Nigeria good.
"iamrealdeji"...u dy talk trash cos Buhari never wanted to accept but she decided to GIVE OF HER OWN WILL.
I guess if that was done to Jonathan, you'll go about praising the woman. #shylocks.
