2023: Dangote, Rabiu make huge donation to APC campaign

Two of Africa's richest men, Aliko Dangote and Abdulsamad Rabiu topped the list of donors for the All Progressives Congress (APC) fund-raising ceremony in Yobe State, according to Daily Post.

The fund-raising ceremony was organized by the Yobe State APC Campaign Council in Damaturu.

The Director General, Yobe State APC Campaign Council, Sen. Mohammed Hassan announced that N2.2 billion was so far realized at the fundraising ceremony, with the chief launcher, Muhammad Auwal Lawan, as well as the billionaires and Dahiru Mangal among other friends of the State, topping the list of donors.

Meanwhile, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan called on the people of Yobe State to give the All Progressives Congress (APC) at least 1.2 million votes in the 2023 elections.

Lawan made the plea at the event.

He said, “Yobe is known to be a guaranteed vote basket for the APC. We want to compete with every State in this country as far as votes for the APC is concerned.

“We have the people. We have the will and we have our way by the grace of God to vote for all our candidates from the top to the bottom”.

The nation’s chief lawmaker argued that the State was on the trajectory of development, saying Senator Ibrahim Gaidam built some foundations before the present administration in the State took over.

“Mai Mala Buni has done extremely well and he can do better when he takes the mantle of the governorship for the second term”, he said.

According to Lawan, the effort to raise funds is simply to finance logistical support for the elections.

“We are targeting 1.2 million votes for our president and nothing less than 1.2 million for our governorship and deputy governorship candidate in the State,” Lawan said.
