I did not fund Buhari's campaign for primaries - Gov Amaechi

GOVERNOR Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, Director-General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation. At an interactive session, Amaechi among other things, Governor Amaechi stayed that he did not funded Buhari 's campaign for primaries. Excerpts:


Is it true you funded the Buhari campaign for the primaries?
I did not. Buhari did not spend money for the primaries. Anybody who said they spent money should come forward with evidence. We have maintained consistently that Nigerians would fund us and that is why we have launched our campaign we are hoping that people will contribute. It is there on our website; you will just look at the account and go and pay.
And we are making sure that we convince General Buhari to be the sole signatory to that account. That is the way we would raise our money. We would not depend on rich men. You can’t fight the president on funds. See how much he raised from people who some of them collected the N2.3trillion on oil subsidy and are yet to pay back. If he is not prosecuting them for oil subsidy, why shouldn’t they pay for his election?
