Donate N200 each for me to buy form and rescue Nigeria, PDP presidential aspirant begs Nigerians

Hamidu Tafida, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appealed to Nigerians to sacrifice for the cause of saving Nigeria by purchasing nomination form for him.

The price of the expression of interest and nomination forms for PDP presidential aspirants is N12 million.

Tafida made the appeal in Jalingo, Taraba State, on Saturday while declaring his intention to contest the 2019 presidential election.

He said the situation in the country demanded sacrifice by all citizens.

“I wish to officially make public my intention to run for the presidency of Nigeria,” he said.

“Let me appeal to one million Nigerians to put together N200 each and purchase nomination form for me to enable me actualise this ambition for the good of all.”

Tafida, a deputy director at Jalingo local government council in Taraba, noted that Nigerians should be wise and resist attempts by “political merchants” to continue to stifle the country’s development.
