The Chairman of the Imo State
governorship primaries of the party which produced Senator Hope Uzodinma as the
governorship candidate of the party, Ahmed Gulak, has revealed that he rejected
to be flown on private jet and $2m as bribe to rig the primaries.
Gulak stated this when he
addressed reporters in Abuja, adding that even though the offer was so
tempting, he rejected it in order to do the right thing.
According to him, he had to
persuade the parties that he was going to do the needful and conduct a free and
fair primary.
He said he was happy because the
party had vindicated him by insisted on the outcome of the primaries his panel
held.
”Naturally, even before I went to
Imo State, I was offered a private jet to take me to Imo state but I refused
because I didn’t want to be compromised.
”I refused the private jet and
even the tempting offer made to me, very tempting, we are talking about two
million dollars here, which I refused.
”Although, I tried to persuade
them that I was going to do what is needful, free and fair primaries. Every
stakeholder must be involved.
”Immediately we landed at the
airport, that was where the problem started. They wanted to kidnap every member
and only God knows where they wanted to take us to, which I refused.
”And to say the least, I pity the
Imo people but they have to take their destiny in their own hands and elect who
they feel will represent them well. I am not from Imo state but I am a
Nigerian.
”There is equality and there is
equity. Some of our governors, I am sorry to say this, they take state
resources as their personal resources and we know that power is transient.
After four or eight years you are
out of power and the system will get you.
”But having said that, I am happy
that the party has vindicated me and I know it is the best decision for the
people of Imo state.”
