Newsonline reports that Aisha Yesufu said the donation of money to the tune of N100 billion for Peter Obii Labour Party candidate is not just about the money, but an investment of passion by Nigerians for good governance.
Aisha Yesufu who has thrown her weight behind Peter Obi, the former of Anambra State, said presidential campaign requires a huge fund to ensure that the best candidate emerges.
In a series of tweets on the need to mobilize the campaign fund and how it’s going to be achieved, Aisha Yesufu stated that “The biggest factor the average politician has is either money or access to money. I believe with Peter Obi the people have to contribute that money. There is no State money that Peter Obi will be dependent on or even state machinery.
“This election is now glaringly one of survival for many Nigerians and we must put our monies where our votes are. We will have to be the ones donating to our candidates.”
Aisha added, “A 100 billion is doable. Our little money when added together by many of us will lead to that sum. Let us not be afraid. Let me start with Nigerians in Diaspora. If 1,000,000 Nigerians in Diaspora donate $100 that will be $100,000,000 = 60 billion.”
Aisha called on Peter Obi to immediately set up an accountable committee that will be in charge of the fund.
“Let me repeat the #PeterObiCampaignFund must be set up by Peter Obi himself. He can assign his team and launch. He will be held accountable. The team in charge must be trustworthy with weekly financial reports to the public. At least 3 signatories for withdrawal.”
“There must also be a team that vets and approve all projects to ensure judicious use of money. This team must consist of incorruptible people with character who are street/market smart. Not the ones that will be told billboard is one billion & they approve.”
Aisha stated that except from supporters who are donating money, a central server should be created and maintained for those donating their time.
“For those donating their time. A central database should be kept ( which i believe is already being done with the 15 people each at polling unit). I volunteer for my polling unit! Beyond the database of support groups, there should be a central one.”
