In the build up to the Primary election of the People's Democratic Party in Imo State, which had Hon Emeka Ihedioha and Senator Samdaddy Anyanwu as the only aspirants, before the withdrawal of Emeka Ihedioha; Senator Samdaddy Anyanwu who doubles as the National Secretary of the Party, was recorded to have boasted severally that he will pay 3 Million Naira per delegate during the Governorship Primaries.

Senator Samuel Anyanwu had earlier assured his Divine Mandate Movement Supporters that he has accumulated the financial warchest through his position as National Secretary of PDP, and that he has a financial backing from River State Governor Nyesom Wike, therefore he has whatever it takes to pay a minimum of 3 million naira to every delegate from the 27 local government areas.

When Chief Emeka Ihedioha wrote a letter to the National Chairman of PDP stating his withdraw from the race, Sen. Samdaddy enjoyed a clear coast that enabled him and his supporters to handpick delegates from the 27 Local Governments and 305 Wards.

In a rather shocking development, the 942 Delegates handpicked by Samdaddy's Divine Mandate Movement (DMM), who came to the venue of the primary election with high expectations, were left utterly disappointed as Samdaddy could only afford to pay them a paltry 20,000.

This ugly development prompted agitations from the angry delegates, some of whom spoke to our reporters on the Condition of anonymity, stating that they have spent over 60,000 naira of their personal funds to cater for their transportation, hotel accommodation and feeding as many of them came from far places on Tuesday 11th and cannot return to their base on Wednesday 12th April after the exercise.

The common question which echoed from their mouth was, "IS THIS THE RETURN OF 419 IN IMO"?

Propaganda machine

OP, when will these kinds of stories of bribery to get votes ever end in this country?
