President
Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly called on the ruling All Progressives Congress,
APC, Campaign Organisation to forget about his 2019 Presidential ambition.
Buhari’s outbursts came on the
heels of some notable All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftains who have been
mounting pressure on him to use monies from the National Treasury for his 2019
re-election bid.
A highly placed source who spoke
to Post-Nigeria Correspondent in confidence quoted Buhari as saying that
he would not accept to use monies from the Federal Government’s account for his
2019 campaign.
The source went further to say
that Buhari categorically told the Party Chieftains to forget about his 2019
Presidential ambition because he is not ready to use monies from the National
Treasury for 2019 campaign.
“I can tell you authoritatively
what is going on in Aso Rock concerning Buhari’s 2019 campaign. There is so
much confusion as to how to fund Mr. President’s campaign. Just recently, he
was approached with some huge sums of money, running into hundreds of millions
of dollars of Federal Government funds, but he rejected it.
”He told them that he is not going to use Nigeria’s money to
campaign for his election in 2019 and that if they cannot get money from any
other source, they should forget about his 2019 Presidency.
“I tell you the truth, the man does not really care to contest;
it is these people that are forcing him to run, and they would do anything and
everything possible to bring him back in 2019”, he said.
He added: “As I speak to you now, they are currently sourcing
for other independent means to get money to fund Buhari’s campaign.”
