Speaking at the
National Secretariat of the APC yesterday October16th, General Muhammadu Buhari
who is running for president for the fourth time, said he felt sorry for
himself after buying the APC nomination form for N27.5million. This is what he
said….
"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.
Responding to Buhari, the APC National Chairman, John Oyegun
said the high price attached to the nomination form was “in order to separate
the men from the boys”.
