Some businessmen in the South-East have donated more than one billion naira to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidential campaign, Governor Hope Uzodimma has said.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, after going through Tinubu’s manifesto, they came together and levied themselves N500,000 each to commit to his project in 2023.

Hope added that as of his last count, more than 2,000 businessmen in general are committed to the cause.

His words, “After going through your manifesto, they came together and levied themselves N500,000 each to commit to your project to be able to realise the manifesto as presented by you.”

“As of the last count, they are over 2,000 in number – they have their names and telephone numbers and email addresses – and have raised over N1 billion for this project.”
