No fewer than 2000 South eastern businessmen have reportedly contributed N1 billion to support the campaign of Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
This was disclosed yesterday by Governor Hope Uzodimma at the Town Hall meeting between Tinubu and business leaders in the region.
He said membership of the group was drawn from the five states of the region.
"I am happy to say our people are fully in support of our Presidential candidate who has come to share his vision and plan for Nigeria and South East today. To support this aspiration the sum of N1billion naira has been raised by 2000 business owners across the South East states," said Governor Uzodimma.
A spokesman for the group Emeka Mgbudem said the group believes in Nigeria and is committed to peace.
