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.

“For now, there is no law against aspirants taking the campaign to delegates. I don’t have evidence that aspirants are sharing money to delegates. For me it’s the delegates that are selling their conscience which is not proper,” he said.

While warning delegates on the implication, Adamu said: “Our delegates should know that anybody sharing money to them can’t be the right candidate of the party. He doesn’t mean well for the country. I don’t have a solution for the problem.”
