Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has described an alleged plan by some farmers to donate N1.2 billion to President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term bid as advanced fee fraud aka “Yahoo”.
According to THISDAY, 12 million farmers that benefited from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Anchor Borrowers’ Programme have pledged to contribute N100 each to the president’s campaign fund, totalling N1.2 billion.
The farmers under the Anchor Borrowers Farmers’ Association were said to have expressed happiness with the president for his credit initiatives that had boosted their trade, insisting that the current agricultural revolution taking place at the grassroot across Nigeria must continue.

But taking to his verified Twitter handle on Thursday, Omokri described the plan as a plot to rig the 2019 general election.
He called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the plan instead of chasing small-time fraudsters called “Yahoo” boys.
He said, “And Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will be going after Yahoo boys. Which Yahoo can be bigger than this? This man is not planning for election. He is planning for rigging”
