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.”
