Buhari Says “I Pity Myself” As He Picks Nomination Form by Titilayodeji13(m): 2:58pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/169607-buhari-says-i-pity-myself-as-he-picks-nomination-form.html Less than 24 hours after he formally declared to run for president, a former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has picked the expression of interest and nomination forms to run for the nation’s highest office on the platform of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC. Mr. Buhari, who is running for the fourth time, shortly after picking the forms at the National Secretariat of the APC in Abuja, said that the N27.5million levy for the forms were exorbitant but that he was helpless in getting it reduced. “It’s a pity I couldn’t influence this amount to be put down as in the case of ladies and the disable that intend to participate. I always look left and right in our meetings but I could not read sympathy, so I kept my trap. “But I felt heavily sorry for myself because I don’t want to go and ask somebody to pay for my nomination forms, because I always try to pay myself, at least for the nomination. “N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so, whether I am on red, or green or even black please honour it otherwise I may lose the nomination. “I was about to go to Kaduna this morning and I told the Chairman but he said in that case, you better pick your form and keep a straight face that means there is no excuse,” Mr. Buhari said. In a short remark, the APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, told Mr. Buhari and his entourage that the party decided to make the nomination fees high “in order to separate the men from the boys”.

The General has nothing to worry about cos, Don Omenka and the APC nairaland crew are more than able to repay the loan. If the general is being made to do things against his core values at party level hope he won't look the other way when party MEN start helping themselves with the national cake if and when he gets to the Villa. 1 Like |

Chubhie:I see you Godfather. Was banned and couldn't pay my respect. Very much on the side of the General and would pull all legitimate stops to ensure he gets into Aso Rock. All I could do. |

omenka:I Respect how consistent and personal you've taken the project GMB. Your passion and faith is getting too contagious that I ask my self-why I'm not seeing what you have seen in GMB then, I remember a phobia I've developed and learnt not to be trusting of two species of beings- Men of God and Politicians. But truth be told GMB looks the best man to tackle corruption head-on. 1 Like |
