Some groups in Kaduna state have
purchased expression of interest and nomination forms of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) for Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna.
While receiving the forms at
government house, Kaduna on Monday, the governor said he does not have up to
N20 million in his account.
The forms cost N22.5 million
Among the groups are the
Association of Cattle Sellers, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of
Nigeria (IPMAN), NATO, and Sheikh Gumi Market Association.
The governor commended them for
the initiative, describing it as a pleasant surprise.
“When the party fixed the money
for the form, I could remember that during the meeting, the President was the
first person to rise his hands and said he does not have N50m,” he said.
”Infact, we the governors started
discussing on how we will raise the money for Mr President.
“We said each governor will
contribute N2 million each and we travelled to China and it was in China I told
the president that some group have purchased the form for you. So who will buy
my own for me?
“I don’t have N20 million also to
buy my form. The money I have in the bank is not close to that amount. I have
only one account in GT . Except I sell my house will I be able to raise that
amount.”
Earlier, Abbas Likoro, spokesman
of the groups, said they decided to purchase the form for the governor to
demonstrate their support for his good work.
“We are here a loud voice to give
our support, contributions and our zeal to follow your cause. We have mobilised
all our members in Kaduna state to make sure you are re-elected in 2019,” he
said.
“We have seen your contributions
to the development of Kaduna state, we admire your visionary leadership. Your
cause is our cause, your struggle is our struggle, your worry is our worry.
Kaduna state needs you, the country needs your ideas. We also need your energy
and your passion for the state. We are going to support you.”
Who una wan deceive again? Allah de see all of una. That you dont have it in account does not mean yo dont have even $20 million in forex or hard currency elsewhere? Mallam abi Alhaji, Can you swear by the Holy Quran?
