Three days after condemning the All Progressives Congress (APC) for putting the cost of the party’s presidential ticket at N100m, Adamu Garba has taken to Twitter to solicit for funds to purchase the ticket.
The 69-year-old former Senator from Yobe had said such an amount equals buying of political positions.
Adamu who is an avid supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari and who supported the ban of Twitter in Nigeria for over 6 months, had also in October 2020, at the height of the #EndSars Protests, called for Northern youths to arise and resist the protests, saying it was a bid to oust Buhari from office.
On Saturday, Adamu took to his Twitter handle, where he dropped his account Zenith number, asking for money to be sent to it, to aid his presidential bid.
He wrote, “Dear Nigerians, My project with you has started. To those of you who made pledges of donation, here is the account number
1008404148 | Zenith. 100M for the form is insensitive, but our collective contribution to get this form will send a strong signal that we care about Nigeria.”
“We recommend that you include your phone numbers in the narrative section of the transaction or alternatively, you can call the following phone numbers:
09034766771
08133068988
08060183701
You can also call the above phone numbers for private donations.Thank you.
Adamu Garba.”

However, his actions were greeted with insults and abuse, with many labelling him a hypocrite and a man who has nothing to offer.
Many are understood to have sent him N10, others have sent in fake debit alerts to make jest of him.
