A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has disclosed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar does not possess billions of dollars to bribe delegates at the party’s presidential primary.

Momodu said: “It’s not just about money. When we talk about money, there are logistics. We’re not talking about bribing.”

“Even in America, Kamala Harris outperformed Donald Trump in terms of raising funds. She had over a billion dollars to spend. She still didn’t win.”

“You need, for example, on the day of the general elections, you need to make sure that you can manage every polling booth. Make sure nobody can rewrite your votes, nobody can steal your votes. That’s what we mean by money.”

“Atiku is a businessman. He has been a businessman since he left power in 2007. He does not control any state in Nigeria.”

“Asiwaju controls at least Lagos. I don’t know other states he controls personally, and he can do and undo. Wike controls Rivers.”

“Atiku doesn’t have that. he’s been managing his business. So, where will he get the billions of dollars to spend on bribing delegates?”

“That’s why they use strategy to outsmart Wike, and that’s why Wike became inconsolable. Till today, Wike has not recovered because he was so sure that nobody could match him dollar for dollar.”
