Buhari Support Group Raises N54.4 Million For His Presidential Campaign

 The Buhari Support Organisation, the umbrella body coordinating the activities of various support groups campaigning for General Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential bid has said that it has so far received the donation of N54,415,386.70 through direct deposit and sale of cards to members.

The group which hosted Buhari to a media chat on Tuesday said the money being generated under its crowd funding initiative is being warehoused in a First Bank account 2026724405

Currently, the BSO said it has registered well over 8,492,226 members with over 475,796 coordinators spread throughout the length and breadth of the country.

Speaking at the event, Buhari said he would like to disabuse the minds of critics of his campaign style who had already started accusing him of violating the provisions of the Electoral Law that he has nothing to hide about the source of his funds.

He recalled that he had earlier launched an initiative to raise fund through voluntary contributions from loyalists and supporters who are expected to pay at least N100 each.
“My financial strength is based on that of the ordinary Nigerians.”

On whether he intends to collaborate with other presidential aspirants who contested the APC ticket with him, Buhari said he had already begun reaching out to them and that he hoped to run a uniform campaign with all the leaders of the party given opportunity to assist.

Details later.
