According to Bashir Ahmad, the Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, the group paid the mandatory N45 million for the expression of interest and the nomination form for the president on Wednesday.
Ahmad, who announced the action and shared pictures of the ceremony on social media, added that the cheque was received by the chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, in Abuja.
The group that bought the form, led by Sunusi Musa, its national coordinator, said its members across states decided to pull their resources together to do this for the president.
“We have decided to pull our meager resources together and purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms for President Muhammadu Buhari as he presents himself to our party members to be chosen as its candidate the 2019 general election.
“Our members from the various villages, local governments and state have contributed to making this happen. It is my singular honour and rare privilege to present to you a cheque of N45 million as payment for the expression of interest and nomination forms for President Muhammadu Buhari,” Musa told the party chairman.
The group said it believes in the president who declared his interest to run for a second term some months ago because he has both in words and in action worked to lay a foundation for a greater and a prosperous nation.
