The Fertiliser Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN)
has donated N570million for the re-election bid of President Muhammadu
Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2019 general
elections.
This is the first public donation to President Buhari’s campaign. Buhari is yet to formally launch his second term campaign.
The
President of FEPSAN, Mr Thomas Etuh, announced on Wednesday night
during a Gala night organised by the Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria
(RIFAN) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
At the event attended
by President Muhammadu Buhari and a national leader of the APC, Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, among others, Etuh said the money was contributions
for the re-election of President Buhari.
Commending the President

President Buhari has turned around the fortunes of farmers in the
country positively.
