Yobe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised N2.2 billion for its campaigns.

The fundraising, yesterday, in Damaturu, was to enable the re-election of Governor Mai Mala Buni and his deputy, Idi Gubana, in the gubernatorial elections slated for Saturday, March 11, 2023.

Declaring the event open, chairman of the fundraising committee, Tijjani Tumsa, disclosed: “The essence of this fundraising was to ensure a hitch-free campaign process across the state.”

He noted that N2.2 billion had been raised, while campaign donations were still coming from party supporters and political associates within and outside the state.

“We have every reason to contribute funds today in bringing back the duo to contest the governorship election in the state,” he said.

Chairman of Yobe APC Campaign Council, Sen. Ibrahim Gaidam, charged the party supporters to donate generously for the re-election of Buni and Gubana.

“You should support and elect all other APC candidates into various offices in the state,” he added.
