They also described as unfortunate, the claim by Ogienwonyi that the state House of Assembly was shut down for its members to give support to Obaseki, saying that “Ogienwonyi is displaying ignorance of happenings in the state since he does not know that the House of Assembly is on recess.”
Dr Ogienwonyi had accused Shauibu of meeting with APC delegates and giving them the sum of N10,000 each to purchase their PVCs.
But reacting, Shuaibu said, “I am surprised that he is making such an allegation. When I heard it, I was like, no, he is more intelligent to even think such thing exist. This has shown he is not the person we thought he was.
“I have contested election more than four times, no INEC card is used to conduct primaries. It shows he does not know what party politics is all about. This is a blackmail and he forgot that I am a super delegate. How can you say you want to be governor and also accuse the state Assembly of abandoning their duties to escort an aspirant to submit his form. Those legislators are also super delegates and they will vote that day.
“Nobody contest primaries with INEC PVC and nobody can buy PVC for the purpose of general election. How many PVCs can you buy? This meeting that he is talking about is the seventh of its kind that I am holding, we have endorsed Obaseki because my federal constituency gave me the mandate that we are all supporting Obaseki and we have no regrets.”
Reacting also, Braimah who also was a former member of the House of Representatives, said “I am surprised and shocked with his allegation. Let me make it clear that I was present in that meeting and I challenge him to produce the video evidence he said he has to back his claim otherwise the party should discipline him for this cheap blackmail, embarrassment and harassment.”
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
