NCC stops Buhari’s fund raising platforms

Lagos - Few hours after the campaign Fund-Raising
Committee of the All Progressives Congress, (APC)
presidential campaign unveiled its online fund
raising platforms, the National Communications
Commission (NCC) has ordered telecommunication
service providers to stop all partisan political
adverts and promotions, reports New Telegraph.
The party, is however, accusing the NCC of seeking
to block its ability to use the platforms of SMS,
ringtones and scratch cards to raise funds for its
campaign.
Lai Mohammed, the party's national Publicity
Secretary, said there was no basis to prevent
individuals and corporate entities from using SMS
and ringtones for legitimate publicity and promos.
