Almost a week after his support group gathered N45 million on his behalf, President Muhammadu Buhari will on Tuesday collect Presidential Nomination and the Expression of Interest forms.
He would receive his All Progressives Congress’ 2019 re-election forms at the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, at 11.30 a.m.
A socio-political group, the Nigeria Consolidation Ambassadors Network (NCAN), which bought the form for the president, will present the form.
NCAN had on Wednesday purchased the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the President.

The national coordinator of the group, Mr. Sanusi Musa, had earlier told newsmen in Abuja that the group could not hand over the documents to the president immediately after purchase as the president was in China on official engagements.
He said: “The president is just back, so we have not yet presented the form to the president. We are in the process of sending it. We will send it to him.’’
Musa dismissed the insinuation that the group was being financed by Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, saying that the N45 million expended on the purchase of the form was generated through contributions made by the supporters and admirers of President Buhari.
