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.
