June 26, (THEWILL) – The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, Tunji Moronfoye, has apologised to Governor Abdulraham Abdulrazaq for alleging that the latter bribed the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mallam Garba Attairu Madami, to ensure that the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerges victorious ahead of the 2023 general election.
Moronfoye confessed that he made the allegation because of Abdulrazaq’s hatred for a former governor of the state, Bukola Saraki. He had accused Abdulrazaq of giving Madami the sum of N300 million to sell victory to APC ahead of 2023 general election. His outburst did not go down well with the resident electoral commissioner who threatened to seek redress in court if the secretary failed to tender an apology to him in public.
Madami had described the PDP stalwart’s statement as unfounded and baseless. A remorseful Moronfoye has withdrawn the statement and apologised to the governor and REC. He regretted making such a weighty and “misleading” accusation.
