However, reports have it that many Nigerian politicians who act as delegates to elect a candidate at the primaries become millionaires during the electioneering period.
Doyin Okupe, a member of the PDP, alleged that presidential aspirants under the party such as Atiku, Saraki, Wike, Obi among others are ready to give each delegate a sum of N4.1m in the upcoming primaries.
Adam Namadi, son of former Vice-President Namadi Sambo, after securing just two votes had asked delegates to refund the N2 million each he doled out before the PDP primaries in Kaduna North Federal Constituency of the House of Representatives.
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.
