July 10, (THEWILL) – A House of Representatives aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ekiti State, Dele Philip, has been accused of bribing the chairman of the party in the state, Paul Omotosho, and secretary, Ogunsakin Kayode with a sum of N50 million so that he can win the primary election in the state. Unfortunately, things did not work in his favour as thugs disrupted the process of the primary election which led to it ending abruptly. Philip was disappointed as his hard earned money seemed to have gone down the drain. It was in the process of confronting the chairman and the secretary of the party, who collected money from him that their best kept secret was exposed. It was gathered that Philip tried to recover the money since he wasn’t sure of his standing in the party.
The politician quickly denied the allegation when the secret was leaked out. According to his special adviser on media, Iyiola Oluborode, the tale was sponsored by Philip’s political enemies who are hell bent on causing division among party members as the allegation against the politician is untrue. He added that Philip was never involved in any financial transaction with party leaders as he only shared a political and formal relationship with all party members.
