NCC shuts down APC's Presidential campaign SMS messages
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has shut down the Short
Messaging Service (SMS) platform which the Buhari-Osinbajo Presidential
Campaign Fundraising Committee launched two days ago to raise funds for
its campaign.
Gov. Fashola, who is the the Director of the Committee, disclosed this to newsmen today. He said the party had on Tuesday January 20th launched 5 platforms for party members to donate to its campaign fund, one of which was to use the SMS code 35350 which would be activated on some networks.
