From all indications, campaign for the 2019 general elections will not be awash with cash as was the case in the run up to the 2015 elections. According to a Sunday Telegraph report, the campaign may be “dry”, particularly money wise.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) set the ball rolling last month when President Muhammadu Buhari launched his Next Level Campaign at the Aso Rock Villa with a lot of fanfare.

Only few weeks ago, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo joined the fray by first crisscrossing the country, handing out “trader moni” to market men and women and then becoming more formal with his door-to-door campaign which has already taken him to Abuja and Lagos.

The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, is not left out as she, on Wednesday, launched: “Together Nigeria”, where she honoured some prominent Nigerians in the entertainment industry. The award, she said was in recognition of their contributions to the development of the country.

However, it was the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) that was actually behind the awards.

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) too was not left out as it flagged off its campaign with its “Getting Nigeria to Work Again” last month.

The party then kicked off its rally in Sokoto, seat of the Caliphate, before stopping over in Ilorin, Kwara State and followed it up in Ibadan, South Western part of the country early this month.

Nevertheless, after this initial flurry of campaign activities, there has been silence from both camps, which is a bit surprising, considering that the presidential poll takes place in eight weeks time.

Sunday Telegraph reports that the “pause” in both camps was actually caused by cash crunch.

“The money is not coming in as expected. By now, Atiku would have mobilised massively for the campaign, have road shows and what have you,” a source close to the campaign of the former Vice President confided in Sunday Telegraph.

It was reliably learnt that for many of those who would have come to the aid of the opposition party by donating money, the fear of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is the beginning of wisdom. “They are afraid of the EFCC coming after them.”

According to Sunday Telegraph report, a PDP governorship candidate in the South West confirmed this when he said that his friends, organisations, that believed in his cause, said: “They are afraid of being hunted and victimised by the ruling party. Most of those who would have funded our campaign are shying away from doing that.”

On the part of the APC, sources who spoke with Sunday Telegraph said that the lull in campaign is as a result of Buhari “starving” the party of funds, as he has “sworn not to use public fund for campaigns.”

Spokesperson of the APC Presidential campaign, Festus Keyamo, alluded to this when he said, “No more bazaar for election. By now, there should have been bazaars everywhere. I apologise even to the press, for the press bazaar, fortune tellers’ bazaar, women’s bazaar. But this president has calmed things down. This is a departure from the past. We should praise the president for it.”

On how the campaign would be funded in view of the President’s disposition to using government money, the APC spokesman said they would be using every legitimate means to generate the funds they would be using for the campaign.

Believe at your own peril

Tougher times ahead

Uuuulaalaaaaaaa!!!!! FTC

Hahahahahahaha...useless parties...

Cash crunch for APC, maybe. The party isn't known for stealing. So they might be a little bit short of cash. But per MOTIVATION, the party is more than motivated to reign in the evil behemoth called PDP.

PDP on the other hand suffers not only from cash crunch but motivation and morality crunch. The only thing they seem to have in excess right now is LIES, made possible by their ultra modern lying machine PETER OBLAIR.

PDP is a useless party of crooks and liars.

One of the best news so far emanating from Nigeria. Let us all feel the pinch and tap In within to get creative positively.

The era of a free for all where political jobbers will sit their effing asses and pot bellies down waiting for election seasons when our national tills are often left open for them to start dipping their thieving leprous fingers into for election purposes is gone.

Little wonder brother Ambrose my neighbour, with his fat stomach who only gets active on a season as this has began shedding some weight and his tommy shrinked even when he isn't working out. I honestly thought brother was on some form of diet.

Una die well for this matter....

Politics isn't a poverty alleviation program...it is supposed to be a honourable call to service based on what your programs and visions are.

Na small small kpekus dey wide..we'll surely get there...

Eff adoption of a second or third country...Nigeria is all I've got and it must get better...

Keep deceiving people, no be only cash crunch you for crunch cash.

They have started again

And where did the APC N450m come from?

Baba, you don't need any amount for sane, hardworking and good Nigerians to vote for you at all.

Others can keep sharing the dollars, wise people will still collect it and vote for you, it's stolen money drom.our national treasure anyways.
Carry go to the NEXT LEVEL Sai Baba.

This is the kind of Change we have been yearning for in a long time. Thank you say baba!

So True. Eight weeks to the Presidential election and the political atmosphere is silent like a graveyard

Who do you think you are deceiving? Cash crunch on APC? You think every Nairalander is a zombie abi?

What haopened to Ganduje billions? What happened to the billions of Dollars Buhari illegally withdrew without the senates consent? And never bought any weapons so much so that our soldiers are being killed like chickens? It will never be well with this government and all who supports her. Amen.

You can't be in power and experience cash crunch,what are contractors doing? They don't get paid? They are the ones sponsoring elections of presidents and Governors ,knowing fully well that losing the election means losing their cash flow at least for a while . The problem is endemic in our nation. Forget the noise of those in power..they are all corrupt but pdp are more heartless and gluttinic,they chop with 35 fingers instead of 10

Pls allow people with brain to argue, these things you mentioned here are too pedestrian and very typical of touts.
Ganduje billions, Dollars Buhari illegally withdrew bla bla bla, very watery and too childish.

I would neither argue nor cue for any present aspirants... They all failed Litmus test, highly disappointed indeed!
The highest I am ready to do now is praying to God Almighty to change our situation as a nation to a better.
