Young Nigerians Fundraise for Pantami's APC Nomination

A crowdfunding initiative led by a group of young Nigerians has successfully raised funds to purchase the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship nomination form for Isa Pantami, the former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, in preparation for the 2027 Gombe State governorship elections. The campaign, coordinated by Eng.

Adamu Sabo, began on a Friday and has attracted contributions from various loyalists, including a notable anonymous donor who contributed 400,000 Naira. Halima Shehu, a supporter, encouraged participation through social media, while Ana bn Hamza expressed gratitude by donating 50,000 Naira on behalf of friends.

The fundraising effort has raised a total of 17 million Naira from three federated agencies and 6 million Naira from women's groups, with Pantami's media network contributing 30,600 Naira. The initiative, which emphasizes local support without foreign funding, showcases a shift in political engagement and resource mobilization for potential candidates.
