Apc state govs funded buhari's presidential campaign with public funds.The states are lagos,rivers,osun, and ogun state.That is why he compensated them with a ministerial position.

Of course....the question is being asked because APC won the last election, and because PDP got its funding for the last election by rather foul means.(Sour grapes).

But, brushing that point aside, the issue raised by this question is that there is no clear law on how elections should be funded in Nigeria. Right now,we do not have any idea about what the law says about funding elections in Nigeria. We have no idea on funding limits,whether names and sources of funding should be mentioned,and so on.

So, we can safely conclude that there should be a campaign law for Nigeria....defining the max amount of funds a party can raise, whether donors should be disclosed or not, and penalties for exceeding such limits. Some food for thought for our National Assembly in this 2016.

Amechi, Fashola, Tinubu, TY Danjuma, OBJ, IBB and many other thieves but Amechi was the most sponsor.



Why did you ask?

@OP, you did good asking the question who funded APC, I did fund APC just like other Nigerians too that called
a short code and donated their money to PMB campaign. And, I am sure you read about a old woman that donated #1,000,000.

Now that you have an idea of where the funding emanated from, keep digging

Parties spend N4.9bn on political adverts

March 23, 2015

By Princewill Ekwujuru

With just five days to the March 28 elections, advertising spend on political campaigns has been estimated to have cost political parties, friends and well wishers of those seeking elective offices a princely N4.9 billion so far.

However, federal and state advert regulatory agencies have expressed displeasure over publications of unapproved advert materials. According to data gathered from different advert agencies and reports from advert regulatory bodies, the print media have so far raked in about N1.382 billion of the advert spend, with the All Progressives Congress, APC spending N332.503 million on its presidential candidate, while its Peoples Democratic Party, PDP counterpart spent N1.049 billion, which is 65.5 per cent higher thanthe amount spent by APC.

Field reports further put other expenses on campaign rallies for PDP and APC at N1.057 billion and N595.082 million respectively. Both parties also spent N224.36 million on outdoor campaigns.

The broadcast campaign coverage for the presidential candidates were put at N508.35 million and N391.05 million for PDP and APC. Electronic media adverts were N733.9million for PDP and N555.6 million for APC respectively, bringing the total amount to N2.5 billion.

In summary,a total of N4.973 billion has been spent on campaign expenses, with PDP and APC spending N3.549 billion and N1.424billion respectively.

As President Buhari continues to get encomium for his acclaimed fight against corruption, one critical missing link which many opponent and proponent of his administration have been silent on is, how did the APC fund his election. we remembered our able president told Nigerians he took a bank loan to pay for his form. firstly, there is strong ethical question hanging on the action of PMB to borrow money from a bank to fund his bid for presidency. I know the president merely sold that to Nigerian as part of the APC's propaganda to Nigerians to create the impression that its candidate is truly a masses' man.
Away from that, the real question as Nigerians look critically into Dasukigate, we also need to ask the questions, what was the source of APC's funding for the last presidential election. if the president claims that he is not a rich man, then by law, I know there is an obligation to INEC, the government and the Nigerian people to provide audited account of campaign fund for all parties. Except the president comes clean on this, there is no way he can convince rightly thinking Nigerians, as apart APC mugus and magas, that he is incorruptible.
no doubt this explains why most politicians in the APC fold will never be probed or purnished once Buhari remains Nigeria's president. he dare not try it and if he attempts to, the dirty linen of the president will be washed in the open.

To me, except PMB can come clean on this, he is deceiving himself, and very soon, the same hawks who joined arms with him and sold his candidacy to gullible Nigerians will soon come back for his jugular very soon if he fails to settle boys accordingly, when times come for them to get their returns.

Common sense should be apply, PMB have challenge all waillers to present evidence of any corrupt act by any of his cabinet members.

You can see that since buhari name was mentioned as one of the beneficiaries of the $2.1b Dasukigate arms purchase.Apc supporters and it paid media have diverted attention from the scandal.The scandal is not eliciting much sensation like before.

Weda it is lopsided or not, let this man fight corruption.

As for who funded APC, I was a presiding officer in one village in IMO state, Despite the fact that PDP were sharing money in both Gubernatorial and presidential, and APC to my knowledge sharing almost none, few people voted for PMB cos Jonathan refused to give them second Niger bridge and did almost nothing for them while many voted for Rochas simply because of the free education he gave to their children.

So u just need propaganda sometimes. APC spent money but they used more of propaganda.

Even if na Tinubu and Amaechi bankrolled them in the south. I personally believe what funded APC campaign is the poor performance of Jonathan during his 6 years of administration.

have you forgotten that inec pays these political parties? What about the membership subscription and levies? When he contested as CPC candidate and gave obj, yaduwa a run for his money by winning the north you didn't ask where CPC got the money to win the north now with the collaboration with southern super politicians he won the south and his reputation he won the north leaving your sick, criminal, confused, greedy PDP with the east now you are asking where he apc got their campaign money. Guy look for another fault jare

Super mod....We need more comments on this topic.

Why asking? Did you not read in the news then that:
1. A widow gave her N10,000 pention,
2. A todler gave his N120.00, and
3. Market women in oweri contributed N100,000?
But wait o, all these add up to N120,120.00. This is not enough to buy fuel for Amechis junketting all over the country then. Which means the real financiers were hiden. APC hmmmmmm.

TonyeBarcanista:
There is a moral burden oñ President Buhari with respect to his own party goats and campaign sponsors. That however doesn't invalidate his war against corruption.

You are on point.

We know that the common wealth of Nigerians was used to finance Buhari's election, but we consider it a capital investment!
The end will justify the means in this case.
All we ask in return is for Buhari to sustains the fight against corruption, create a sane environment for us so that Nigeria can come out of this doldrums!
Our grievance is that PDP has been making Nigeria worse off after enjoying this kind of privilege for ages, they should be made to pay for it.

cckris:
THERE'S NO MORALITY IN POLITICS. THAT'S WHY APC HIRED AXELROD, REPUTEDLY EXPERIENCED IN THE GUT-CUTTING POLITICS OF CHICAGO.

Then Bode George, Ali Must Go, and co, were sharing money to look after their harems. I didn't say Haram. And Jega, with sufficient data on Igbo mentality, was figuring out how to use Card Readers to empower war zone Northeast, and simultaneously disenfranchise Jonathan's stronghold in the Southeast Igbo enclave.
GAME OVER.

There is morality in politics but not among Nigeria career politicians. As for Jega, I won't say my mind for now

It is not a secret how Buhari campaign was funded.
How ever, what does that have to do with the ongoing probes of how the national treasury was looted.
Anyone who have something to say about how the campaign was funded through illicit money should come out and tell the public.

Nigeria is going through a repair work, if you know anything that is technically faulty in any part of the body polity of the federal republic of Nigeria, say it out now so we will be able to get it fix.
I am now challenging the O P to says whatever he knows about how Buhari campaign was funded.

Love Machine:

How can u be this dumb, what will media say about it. Its nonsense.
So Buhari who is an opposition is given bribe yo do what? To campaign for Jonathan.

See no one is calling anyone a saint o, but let's use our brain and be patriotic.

Former head of states were given things according to what the constitution says. So not just Buhari.

Let him fight corruption. We can criticize his other policies but criticizing his fight against corruption is Anti-Nigerian.

My own be say ehn!!! Why the one-sided probe and TOO much noise about it? Kettle calling pot black. Jesus asked, let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone. Amazingly every one dropped stone and ran away.. What ever happened to Abacha and Haliburton loots... Saint APC indeed... Lmao

Among the X pesident and the Present president of APC and PDP who can be better of picked or rated for being more friendly or closer to the masses plight?

It does invalidates the corruption war.

For example, the reason why Obasanjo lost out in the war against corruption was because it later became lopsided. He was busy clamping down on those against his third term bid. The same would happen against Buhari.

I wonder why you are becoming Buhari's sycophant of late.

Obasanjo didn't lose in his war against corruption despite its clear lopsidedness. Someone like me supported Obj's anti corruption fight even though I maintained that he has a moral burden himself. Like Gani (of blessed memory) said to critics, don't bother about whether Ribadu was pursuing against Obj's political opponent. The question should be "are they corrupt or not?". He was like a father to Ribadu despite acknowledging the lopsidedness. His immoral third term bid didn't invalidate his corruption fight.

Well, saying I'm becoming Buhari's sycophant is inappropriate. I will always side what I believe is a better deal for Nigerians. Never been a GEJ sycophant nor any politician. I support 100% the fight against corruption, and still recognise that Buhari has a moral burden on him that may either make or breake him if he doesn't address it.

Shaftrod:
@superpundit. I marvel at the extent to which people can go to stain a steel alloy. An sure you would soon suggest that his success at the polls also raises an ethhical question about the credibility of voters that elected him. Or haven't you thought it out that some of the electors that gave him their votes might possibly have been armed robbers or other criminal elements...?Aigoo! So much for intelligence and erudition!

Oga stop digressing, answer the question: who sponsored APC's presidential election and from where did they get the money.

I swear the international community, countries and organizations would have spoken and commended the present government if they fight against corruption was genuine. But they know is mere witch hunting that's why no commendation yet..

simple APC stole when there were still in PDP xo nw der used d money to fund campaign in order to rebrand nigeria.

Agimor:
Some persons are bent in frustrating Buhari fight against corruption. Just like the Op,they want him to justify why he should stand against corruption.Smh for most of our Nigeria youth who have mortgage their future simply because of free flow of stomach infactstructure they got from the previous govt.

People like you are the reason why Nigerian leaders will remain corrupt and selfish because you refuse to be fair in ur reasoning. Who sponsored APC's campaign and where did the money come from? Fools!!!

lordizak:
I am sure u guys just wanna pick on Mr President, Who has been funding that of PDP? If APC acts, takes any line of action to work, Wailers and and PDP will be ranting that; Their actions are faulty, There fight against corruption is lopsided, need I remind u, if the fight is lopsided or not, it's a fight against corruption. The big Question is " WHAT HAS PDP DONE FOR YOU FOR 16years"?.
U guys want to make judgement devoid of reasoning. If Amechi is corrupt, where were the saints when he was driving PMB? Politics is a business, invest and get ur returns, Do necessary evil when u have to. The past administration sold oil at ceiling price, what was the dividend we gained? I am sure the scam sure p will pop into your heads. This administration is facing more challenges than any other, but the pace and steadiness they handle it with is quite commendable, I'll give them that credit. You see the uprising in the East (What will happen if they result into arms war, I think there's already the proliferation of arms), the dwindling price of petroleum world over not only in Nigeria, the rise of Dollar is crashing the economy of other countries, the growing population of urban centres (resulting to unemployment), and courts delay in reaching judgement swiftly. I just pity what social media has done to the brains of this generation.

Besides, this is 2016, You just might want to show our leader some respect. So, it can be afforded to you some day. God bless the head of state, God bless Me & You, God bless Nigeria.

God will bless u 4 dis ur intelligence piece.
May u walk in d peace of God this year.

The answer is people dat has money sponsored it wic u don't need 2 knw & he Buhari only knw them & will reward them is due course. Thank u

let's tell ourselves the truth, Buhari said if you have any case against his ministers, party members and close aides we should say it. Please tell us anyone you know that has skeleton in his cupboard, after wike started with amechi and if he has a fact I know wike would have prosecuted amechi with the situation of things porthacort. Bros talk with facts I beg for the good of Nigeria youths and upcoming politicians.

your arguement is inconsistent... You can as well ask my ancestors who funded Buhari's three previous shot for the number one seat or better still, ask us who funded Obama's and David Cameron's presidential campaign because they were in the opposition as at the time of their respective elections. You don't have a valid arguement but a mere kettle logic...

Who Funded APC's Presidential Election

Please do some research and let us educate Nigerians on the source of APC Presidential Campaign Fund.

Thank you.

I begin to wonder why this type of unreasonable question should arise;party as a political party will have ways of generating fund.if we are not aware of any donation to PMB candidacy campaing we are aware of an old woman who donated her life saving to PMB during campaign and on like that;also party could fund their candidate through forms sold to respectives candidates who are interested in one political office or other.I don't know why how political Parties funded their candidates should be bug to some people.there are other things you can do nboh!
