Presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress and former Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has began raising campaign funds on social network platform, Facebook.
Buhari posted a message on his Facebook page on Saturday, urging Nigerians to donate to his campaign “towards shaping the destiny of the country”.
The former Army General also stated that it was not lost on him that many Nigerians are impoverished, yet he implored them to consider their donations as an “investment into the future that will usher a new era.”
Read Buhari’s message below:
“As we have made it clear, our campaign is going to be funded, planned and run by ordinary Nigerian citizens like you. This is in recognition of your role as biggest stakeholders capable of changing the course of history of this great yet badly run nation.”
“In this regard, we launch our crowd funding platform through which every Nigerian can contribute his token towards shaping the destiny of this country. Here are the details:
Account Name: Buhari Support Organizations
Account Number: 2026724405
Bank: First Bank Nigeria
Sort Code: 011150000
“Dear friends, I know what it means to ask citizens over 60 per cent of whom live on less than $1 per day to donate for this campaign. I know many of you are finding it difficult to pay your rents, school and medical bills, to buy the fuel to cook your food, light up your homes or power your vehicles. I know how it hurts and I know you have suffered enough.”
“But that little contribution – that little sacrifice you make is an investment in the future that come 2015 will usher in a new era for our country, one that promises jobs and opportunities for anyone willing to work hard, and peace and prosperity for all.
“So when you look at that little amount of money you are parting with, and the money our opponents are offering you for your votes, think not about the nominal value, think about the choice you are making, and that choice is very clear; either you put your money for a change you trust in, or for four more years of insecurity, corruption and bad leadership under President Jonathan.”
“Our opponents have huge financial resources, I have only you and God, and I trust that our struggle will triumph. Our opponents have foreign bank accounts and possessions to run to when they destroy this country, me and you have only this Nigeria to live and die in. So let’s join our hands to make it better.”
Thank you and God bless.
All Nigerians should bend down now and see that Nigeria is in shambles.The president is more interested in 2nd term than stopping the blood she’d in the north.Buhari is the only answer to Nigerian social and economic problem.Apc should take their time and pick a nationally acceptable running for him.If Apc can get that right then bye bye to jpnathan from aso rock.
This is the type on president we deserve. He has no foreign account no house in abuja his first daughter I was told married an ibo man. He was d head of ptdf and never enrich himself. Every body call him Babaoyoyo. All rich people in nigeria hate and fear him reason he is not corrupt. I remember how he cleared all rubbish in nigeria. How he dealt with all criminals and Idiagbon. I pray he is allowed to work with fasola of lagos or okorocha or Amechi or osibajo. If one of these men work will buhari we are sure of getting to promise land. We don’t want some one who believes in enriching himself and forget d poor no 6th richest presido in d word. Also magazine brought out 10richest church in d world 6 from nigeria during d tenure of this administration and over 80percent of nigeria are wallowing in poverty. This is malady. Pls we common people let’s donate 500naira or 1000 naira into this account to save our future and our family. Am over 70yrs old I know nigeria history well well from 1960. Buhari will help us. We all voted 2011 for fresh air and now experiencing hot air. Anyway my believe is that is d way God wants to expose bad people. Today we know whom is whom in nigeria pdp can never take us to promise land after 16yrs not possible vote buhari and fasola. Buhari reduce pilgrimage cost 50percent during his time his first daughter married christian same fasola his wife a christian pls pls our dear northerners yoruba christian and muslim are one same must be all over nigeria. A president that does not want to be implicated going to mosque can never successfully rule nigeria. Buhari before election must attend church gathering possibly with fasola and address all nigerians inside church to make nother christian knows they are free. Go to father kuka church in sokoto for northerners christian to see. Yoruba christians has no problem. U can go and meet okorocha attend church with him both of u. I know our south south and south east those who are ready for change will reason with u. But for yoruba o no problem. Have lived travel all over d world in d 7os represent in nigeria all over d world yoruba c0ulture and understanding can never be compared. Yoruba is different in understanding of life and respectable culture. Am not a politician oooo Icannever be one I don’t like money as people do so take my advise. Lastly Gej has tried 6yrs as presido 2yrs as vice only his cronies derailed him. His government only for rich poor are becoming poorer. Sh aria is more religious than boko haram obj ended it see over million nigeria has died and still want to c0ontinue mba mba ko dara. Am sure people are forcing my president. Obj ratted him below average too bad. Gej u have tried ur best is nothing to nigeria budget in 1999 was trillion for d past 3yrs now budget 4trillion plus not much to show people ur cronies has stolen all our money. Well nigeria is a river that can never dry as God made it. U have tried sir I score u 50percent. Buhari see to nigeria children culture and morals. Nigeria needs a president who will handle them fully as father. No father no mother in nigeria every one politician running after money this is what this government has plug us into pls change let there be laws to give morals of all children. Possibly free education from primary to secondary let stakeholder gets out of primary to secondary they can be allowed tetchy to university. This only how u can control all our children that has no mother. That is my advise. God be with nigeria
