The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has launched a website to enable it raise funds for its campaign across the country.

Naija News reports that the ruling party unveiled the crowdfunding application weeks after the Labour Party (LP) opened its campaign website and sought donations from its supporters.

Speaking at the launch of the portal in Lagos on Tuesday, the APC vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, said the initiative would afford supporters of the party the opportunity to contribute to the campaign.

He said prior to the start of the campaign, the party and the council have been overwhelmed by supporters looking to contribute their quota and ideas, hence the need for the launch of the portal.

“Our ticket is poised to modernise and expand public infrastructure; make healthcare, education, and funding accessible to all-for the manufacturer sector.

“It also seeks to improve national security and build Nigeria, especially for our youths via sufficient jobs with decent wages, and to prepare a better life for our people.”
