The money was allegedly courtesy a former chairman of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Commission (DESOPADEC), Godwin Toritseju Ebosa.
Less than 24 hours to the commencement of the Peoples Democratic Party, primaries in Delta State, 25 delegates from the Warri North constituency have alleged that they have been promised N4million each to influence the election outcomes.
It was further gathered that the N100million largesse for the primary election, which is said to be bankrolled by the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, is in support of the reelection bid of the incumbent House of Assembly member representing Warri North constituency and deputy minority whip, Martins Alfred.
"Alfred is a disappointment. But now, money is involved, many of us will grab the N4million and still vote our conscience for tomorrow’s primary election for the House of Assembly for the Warri North constituency. The money will be given out in dollars.” “But take this to the bank, some of us will vote our conscience, we will vote for competency, development, vibrancy and vision. Can you imagine, a state where pensioners are suffering and dying, yet the governor is busy lavishing the state money on frivolous election matters in a bid to have his unpopular candidates installed as the party flag bearers? I can tell you for free, millions of dollars are being wasted away from the state treasury.
