A civil rights group, the Peoples Forum (PF) has demanded an immediate and thorough investigation of the alleged funding of the campaign of the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari.
The forum also called for a probe of the purported endorsement of
Buhari for 2015 presidential election by the Movement for the
Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND).
The spokesman of the Forum, Elias Kaka, said in Lagos at the weekend
that the probe or thorough investigation of the alleged funding of
Buhari’s campaign was necessary despite the denial by Buhari Support
Group, in order to put the records straight.
“Despite the denial that Buhari’s campaign is not being bankrolled by
some unnamed Arab countries, there is the need for thorough
investigation of the matter against the backdrop of the extant security
challenges and the purported islamisation of the country by some
faceless groups”, the PF spokesman further said.
But the Buhari Campaign Organisation has denied ever being funded by
any foreign organisation, dismissing it as ‘laughable’ reports that the
APC candidate was awaiting funds from unnamed Arab
establishments/countries to prosecute his campaign.
