The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has concluded plans to set up a committee that will be saddled with the responsibility of raising funds for campaigns.
Daniel Bwala, the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, made this known on Sunday when addressing newsmen.
Asked what the Party has budgeted for campaigns Bwala said that the party will set up a committee that will raise funds soon.
“How can you determine when to get funds when your structure has not been established? Because the people that will generate the funds and plan for the campaign are in the campaign structure. It is like saying that you are going to do a project; when the project committee has not been established, where will you draw the budget?
“You don’t know because you have to go to primary one before you go to primary two. The primary one is the committee that will think about where to raise funds; anybody who is thinking of raising funds before the committee is trying to present a fait accompli to the committee.
“It (campaign structure and committee) will be coming, hopefully, next week. Yes, the campaign structure.
“The campaign structure is the structure that executes the campaign. If you have a campaign structure, they will form different committees: manifesto committee, finance, legal, and mobilisation committees. So, to start talking about what a committee will think about (funds) before they are constituted is like you write an answer and ask me to work through the question.”
