Photos: Governors, Business moguls, others raise N21bn for GEJ's Presidential campaign

PDP Governors, Senators, Business moguls, technocrats and others gathered at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja yesterday night December 20th to make financial commitment to support President Jonathan's re-election campaigns.

At the fundraising dinner, 21 PDP Governors donated N50million each which came to N1.05billion. Business owners in the Oil and Gas sector donated N5billion while their counterparts in the Real Estate & Building made a donation of N4billion. Continue...
Players in the Transport and Aviation sector made a pledge of N1billion, those in Agriculture donated N500million while those in the power sector pledged N500m. Board of the Shelter Development Limited donated N250million while players in the Construction sector pledged N310million. Road Construction players pledged N250million while the National Automative Association pledged N450million. The Chairman of the fundraising dinner, Mr Tunde Ayeni made a donation of N2billion while the Chairman of SIFAX group donated 100million. The Rivers state PDP Chapter donated N50million.

Africa's Richest man, Aliko Dangote who was made the Chief Fund Raiser was absent at the event as he is said to be out of Nigeria but his representative, Joseph Makanju promised that the business mogul would make his donation known once he arrives Nigeria.
With all the monies announced at the fundraising dinner as well as those from private individuals, a total of N21.27bn was realized.


President Jonathan afterwards thanked everyone who donated and promised that their donations would not be in vain.

This is another plot to a continued reck of this nation, all these idiots have such huge amount of money to waste and they cannot commit it to human and infrastructural development in the country knowing fully well they are all tax evaders. I think the number one problem of this country is all these rich people. There has been an incomprehensible increase in the number of rich/wealthy people in the country within last 3-4 years under GEJ where insecurity flourishes more than we had in the last 10 years. They will all pay for this whether they like it or not and in fact sooner than they have thought.

21 billion nairn plus , is it an investment or friendly gesture ,
At the end of the day , these guys will gather and recoup their monies , the way and manner ,

Well, 2015 is a decider between evil and good. Jonathanian and Buharism respectively. Well am not saying 21Billion is not a formidable amount for rigging. It's adequate but for how long would be continue to jeopardise our future. ? Linda Linda Linda which side are you? Evil or Good? Jonathanian or Buharist? PDP or APC? demoler22@yahoo.com
