The singer, who was in 2019 appointed as National Director of Music for the Buhari 2019 Presidential Support Committee, on Friday in a video on social media solicited funds, asking each person to donate N1,000 before he releases the song.<\/p>\n
He also said financing the new song will show that there was no suffering and that Buhari\u2019s government was doing well.<\/p>\n
In the video, the praise singer said, \u201cI will sing a new song in praise of Buhari until Northerners paid for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to read out an account number into which donations will be sent<\/p>\n
Less than 48 hours after releasing the video, SaharaReporters gathered that the praise singer had raised a huge sum running into millions of naira.<\/p>\n
Some ardent supporters of the President made donations and shared evidence of payment on social media.<\/p>\n
Some wealthy Northerners and Buhari\u2019s supporters also donated huge sums for the release of the song, sources disclosed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe praise singer had earlier said the claim of suffering in Nigeria is a lie spread by what he referred to as useless people.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got N57m in two days with 48 Northerners donating N13.7m.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe singer, in recent days, has been giving out cars as gifts, a part of what he described as a sign that Nigerians are doing well under Buhari,\u201d a source aware of the song project told SaharaReporters.<\/p>\n
Rarara had released songs for some governors in the All Progressives Congress including Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna, Mohammed Badaru of Jigawa and Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano.<\/p>\n
