Lola said: “The majority of people are not on social media, so I decided to talk to them on markets, they also have their PVCs so they should know about General Muhammadu Buhari.
“I met somebody from the Facebook campaigning team and they invited me to their meeting. When I came they were just looking at me and I understand that I was the youngest one there.
“And they began to nominate official people for campaigning and I raised my hand and said: I want to be an assistance coordinator of this group.
“Everybody looked at me: Who are you? You have just come and want to be coordinator of this group.”
Lola campaigns for Buhari.
“When I was giving my speech I said that as a matter of fact I am not experienced. I have passion for Nigeria, I have passion for General Muhammadu Buhari, I am eager to sacrifice to work for this organization.”
Then the young girl talked about the desperation that came after shift of polls from February 14 to March 28, 2015.
“After they postponed the campaign, after they postponed the election then there was show because the people were upset and we can’t give up,” Lola said.
“We didn’t have money, and only the encouragement from Facebook kept me going. So when people said we don’t have money I said don’t worry the God will provide.”
