2019: FG reveals why Buhari won’t spend much money to be re-elected

Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the 2019 general elections will probably be the least expensive elections for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking to TheCable, he said the current administration has performed well and doesn’t need to convince anyone.

When asked about how the APC will fund the 2019 polls and its government control how much other parties spend, he replied: “INEC is the statutory body saddled with the responsibility of monitoring campaign expenditure, but one thing I can assure you is that for us, 2019 election will probably be the least expensive for us, because we have performed, we have delivered.

“Just talking to you now, we feed 8.2 million pupils everyday, one free meal a day, they have parents. I just told you what we’ve done in infrastructure.

“I was about to tell you what we have achieved in tackling insecurity. When we came in in 2015, 20 out of 27 local governments in Borno state alone were under the influence of Boko Haram, today not a single local government in the entire northeast.”
