A group known as Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) has announced its move to raise N6 billion towards the actualization of the 2023 presidential ambition of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and former Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi.

One of the coordinators of POSN, Mr Daniel Elombah, a lawyer and media entrepreneur, announced in a message circulated on Tuesday morning, April 12, 2022, that already, the group has opened bank accounts and is recruiting bloggers and other media practitioners for the project.

The message partly reads: “The Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) is crowdfunding for Peter Obi’s presidential campaign because they are worried that Mr Obi appears to have no formidable mobilization structure on the ground.

“As you all are aware, running for President in Nigeria is way beyond social media or speaking grammar. He needs to hit the ground running and so POSN has come to the rescue.

“PETER OBI SUPPORT NETWORK is made up of Nigerians in Nigeria and in diaspora who have come together to contribute both personal efforts and to contribute financial resources to help finance the expenses of Mr Peter Obi’s presidential campaigns given a belief that he is the most suited to lead Nigeria at this time.

“POSN aims to raise 6 billion naira for Peter Obi. Peter needs a hired private jet for 14 days to crisscross the 36 states of country and Abuja to meet the national delegates to solicit for votes. Peter Obi needs the media.

“POSN will use every money raised to finance the two activities above.”

POSN in the statement encouraged people to “support the cause of Peter Obi wherever you are”, advising them to send their contributions to any of the following bank accounts:
