The former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Ameachi has alleged that some delegates at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention were induced with money to vote during the party’s presidential election that took place at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
The former Governor of Rivers State made this allegation while speaking at an event to mark the 60th birthday of Eugene Ogu, the general overseer of Abundant Life Evangel Mission in Port Harcourt.
According to the viral video that circulated on the social media platform, Amaechi alleged that the delegates collected money to solve their immediate problems, adding that some of them who collected the money has, however, regretted their decisions.
He said, “God should save the ordinary Nigerian because they are the problem. Those who voted at the APC primary, who are they? The ordinary Nigerian. The small money they got solved their immediate problems,”
However, Ameachi did not mention the aspirant who allegedly gave money to delegates, but there were accusations and counter-accusations between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s supporters and those of other APC aspirants during and after the primaries.
It could be recalled that Ameachi was the runner-up at the APC presidential primaries, where he polled 316 votes to come a distant second to Bola Tinubu, who polled 1271 votes.
