Drama as ex-VP Namadi Sambo’s son allegedly asks delegates to return his money after he lost PDP ticket
Adam Namadi, son of former Vice-President Namadi Sambo, has allegedly asked delegates to refund the N2 million each he gave to them just before the party primaries in Kaduna North Federal Constituency of the House of Representatives which he lost on Sunday, May 22.
DailyTrust reports that Namadi, who had promised to add N1.5 million to the amount given to each of the delegates, secured the least votes among the three contenders. The delegates raked in millions of naira from the aspirants who appeared in a hurry to outspend one another.
At the end, Samaila Suleiman, the incumbent representative of the constituency carried the day as he defeated Namadi and Shehu Usman ABG.
Suleiman, who recently decamped from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP, won with 22 votes against Shehu Usman ABG who polled 14 votes.
According to the publication, delegates who participated in the primaries claimed Suleiman had distributed between N3.5m and N4m to each delegate while ABG gave out N2.5m in cash and Namadi had distributed N2m to delegates.
