Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has revealed that party members collected dollars on offer by Atiku Abubakar in the leadup to the 2015 presidential election.
However, he said that they still ended up handing the party’s ticket to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Oshiomhole
said this on Thursday during a ‘World Press Conference’ he held in
Abuja, as a follow-up to the one by Atiku on Wednesday, dring which the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate described Saturday’s election
as the worst in Nigeria’s history.
After attacking Atiku for
jumping from party to party since leaving office as Vice President in
2007, Oshiomhole recounted how Atiku bribed APC members ahead of the
2014 presidential primary of the APC: “He joined us in Lagos, rolled out
the dollars, and President Muhammadu Buhari had to say to APC people,
myself inclusive: ‘I have no dollars to give. I do not have Intel or
Itel [sic]; I do not have foreign account, and even if I have I will not
give. All I offer is all my heart.
“The APC guys who couldn’t resist Atiku’s dollars collected those dollars, and voted for Buhari as our candidate.”
