Buhari’s APC Chairmanship Candidate Receives N10 Million Donation

Senator Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa State has received a ten million naira donation to help him campaign for the APC national chairmanship.

According to our reporter President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed the former state governor for the position.

Dr Kassim Muhammed Kassim, the chairman of the Council of All Progressives Congress (APC) Stakeholders in Nasarawa State, said in a statement on Sunday that the group had raised N10 million from North-Central stakeholders to buy nomination and expression of interest forms for Adamu.

Kassim told journalists in Lafia that the donation was made to show solidarity with Adamu and to say “thank you” for establishing high institutions in the state during his time as governor, which allowed them to pursue higher education.

He urged those who claimed to be supporters of the president but disagreed with his decision to reconsider.

Meanwhile, Dr Abdulmuminin Kabir Usman, the Emir of Katsina, has revealed why he is backing Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the presidency.

Usman said he is backing Tinubu for president in 2023 because the presidential candidate helped him in a variety of ways when he was a district head.

Given their long-standing relationship, the monarch said he will contribute to the former Lagos governor’s campaign and advise him as needed.

Last Friday, he revealed this when he received members of the Arewa Organizations Movement for Asiwaju, led by Senator Abu Ibrahim, at his Katsina palace.

“We will look into whatever movement he is involved in, and we will support where necessary and correct where necessary,” he said. Tinubu was governor when I was district head, and he has helped me in numerous ways. Tell me why I should disown him now that I am on the throne and he is running for president.

“So, Tinubu, the man you brought here, he is a son of the soil, and he has done a lot for me.” I was in Lagos three weeks ago for the first time since 1967, and I saw how the city has changed, and I came to the conclusion that Lagos holds all of the country’s wealth.”
