The Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state of allegedly moving huge sums of money from government accounts into private bank accounts for subsequent disbursement to induce voters in the gubernatorial and house of assembly elections.
Director-General of the Party’s Governorship Campaign Council in Kwara, Professor Ali Ahmad made the accusation at a press conference in Ilorin on Thursday.
He said, “we have correct and factual information about how political office holders, private individuals outside government, influential people in our society and even bureaucrats receive huge money from government accounts and these individuals then either retain the money as their own to buy their support while some others are charged with paying a huge part of the money in tranches of N20,000, N30, 000 and N10,000 to ordinary voters. This is a big political scam that is going on in our state.”
