Former head of state, Muhammadu Buhari who recently raised brows when he
complained about the high cost of presidential forms been sold by his party, the
All Progressives Congress, APC has revealed how he intends to fund his
presidential campaign. Buhari has often claimed that he is poor compared to other Nigerian politicians.
An aide of the former head of state who spoke to THIS DAY said that Buhari's presidential campaign will be funded with money generated by friends, associates, well-wishers and goodwill contributions from APC -controlled states.
"Buhari is a poor man by the standards of the average Nigerian politician. I don’t know if you know that Buhari does not have a house in Abuja. He doesn’t have a house and sometimes I wonder what kind of human being he is.
"He doesn’t have properties all over the place. In fact, the only house he has is the one in Kaduna and in his native village Daura.”
"Since he left office, the source said, Buhari has basically depended on hand outs from his friends and supporters", the aide said.
"Buhari would not need money for ‘stomach infrastructure’ because the people freely mill around him. He doesn’t need a hired crowd and they don’t need any money to come to him. In short, they are drawn to him naturally. There are friends, well wishers and cooperate bodies that are ready to contribute their pennies to make Buhari president because they believe in him. The good will is just tremendous".
