Some presidential delegates of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, reportedly went home with N250,000 each after attending a meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to SaharaReporters, “This was what we were giving by Osinbajo today,” a delegate said while showing the money packaged in an envelope.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Osinbajo had a meeting with delegates of the party on Friday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The meeting was Osinbajo’s second round nationwide consultation ahead of the presidential primary of the APC slated for June 1, 2022.
According to Osinbajo’s aide, the move was designed to cement efforts already put in place by the Vice President in a bid to fortify his chances of clinching the party’s presidential ticket.
Speaking at the Ibadan event, Osinbajo had said his experience in the last seven years had prepared him to become Nigeria’s next president.
He stated that he had been exposed to everything related to governance at the local and international levels which informed his intention to run for president.
According to him, it is time to reward all politicians and delegates of the party who worked for the success of the party, as he noted that “every politician deserves to be treated well and properly.”
He also added that his administration as president would create a partnership based on trust between the delegates and the political class for the reward of all.
