Dauda Kahutu Rarara is popular for his songs in praise of President Muhammadu Buhari.
A week ago he went on social media, calling on supporters of the president to donate N1,000 each for his next album. He was in for a surprise. Overwhelmed, the singer said he never knew Buhari was this popular.
Rarara said he was dazed by the outpouring of response towards the project in which he intends to enumerate over 192 projects the Buhari-led government had successfully executed across the country.
Speaking to daily trust, Rarara said he was moved to launch the project because of claims in some quarters in the political realm that the president had lost popularity among Nigerian masses.
Kahutu did not mention how much was so far realized from the public donations, but he said the N70m being speculated was like an insult to the cause.
“Talking about realizing N70m within three days on a personality like President Muhammadu Buhari is like an insult, people were so much eager to give more than the N1,000 required and we kept telling them we only need N1,000. They will give their N1,000 and also beg for your indulgence. I have never witness such love expressed to a leader before,” he said
He added that he has not gone public with the amount realised so far on the proposed sponsored song in praise of President Buhari.
