Barely
few days after some Nigerians and groups jostled to obtain the Presidential
Nomination Form and Expression of Interest Form for President Muhammadu Buhari,
which NCAN won the race eventually by outsmarting many Nigerians and groups to
get.
Now
as President Buhari prepares for party primaries, many Nigerians and groups
have indicated interests and aligned to fund President Muhammadu Buhari’s
primaries with a crowd fundraising target of one billion naira.
The
crowd fundraising target of One Billion Naira is tagged “Nigerians Fund PMB
2019 Primaries” and is to be coordinated by Buhari 2019 Door to Door
Ambassadors. According to Chris Kohol, the Director General of the coordinating
organization, the crowd funding campaign is initiated by good & patriotic Nigerians
to appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari’s personality and sterling leadership
achievements.
Buhari
2019 Door-To-Door Ambassadors is a voluntary socio-political organization
birthed chiefly to promote and propagate President Muhammadu Buhari’s sterling
administrative achievements through door-to-door outreach, campaigns and other
innovative and strategic means towards ensuring victory for President Muhammadu
Buhari in the 2019 general elections.
According
to an official statement released by the coordinating organization, the crowd
fundraising targets One Billion Naira for President Muhammadu Buhari’s
primaries and will start from Monday 10th September, 2018, by 10am and end on
Monday 17th September, 2018, by 7:00pm.
Channels

The
Director General of Buhari 2019 Door to Door Ambassadors, Chris Kohol,
disclosed that the crowd fundraising exercise will be highly transparent as
Economic & Financial Crime Commission (EFFC), the Department of State
Services (DSS), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission (ICPC), Buhari Presidential Campaign Organization 2019 and
Buhari Support Organizations (BSO) have been notified of the crowd funding
exercise and have been invited to monitor and audit the One Billion Naira crowd
funding project for President Muhammadu Buhari, making it highly transparent
and the first of its kind in Nigeria.
"President
Muhammadu Buhari as a man of integrity and honour has said severally and
demonstrated many times that he will not touch any Kobo of the public funds
unlike some past leaders to facilitate his reelection bid, hence Nigerians are
keen to crowd fund One Billion Naira for his Presidential primaries to enable
him apply the funds to campaign transportation/logistics, campaign materials,
non-volunteers salaries, media, advertisement and other key expenses during the
Presidential primaries and convention" Chris Kohol said.
He
further stated that the planned gesture for President Buhari is as a result of
his good sterling leadership achievements evident in the areas of security,
agriculture, economy, anti-corruption war, massive infrastructural development
among others.
He
hinted that the donated funds will be presented to President Buhari on 18th
September, 2018, by about 37 delegate donors representing the huge numbers of
donors and each state of the federation.
It could be recalled that in 2008 President Barack Obama raised about 778,642,962 for his Presidential campaign and in 2012 again he raised over one billion US dollars for his reelection campaign. The coordinating group said that they hope to see how President Buhari matches President Obama’s record.
