The National Chairman of the All-Progressive Congress (APC) Abdullahi Adamu has dismissed the report that the aspirants of the party are engaged in bribe-for-votes with delegates, adding that it was the order way around.

The Chairman, who debunked the claim while speaking with journalists on Wednesday noted that there was no evidence to substantiate the report of party aspirants buying votes. Instead, he said, the reverse was the case.
