A witness called by the
petitioners before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) has
admitted that himself and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) paid N10,000 to
some soldiers during the last general election.
Suleiman Mohammed Bulama, who
said he acted as the PDP’s ward collation agent in Jika Local Government, gave
the information about the N10,000 payment in his written statement, which he
admitted on Monday before the tribunal.
During cross-examination by
lawyer to President Muhammadu Buhari, Alex Izinyon (SAN), Bulama, who was the
petitioners’ witness, said he stood by his claim that they (himself and his
party) paid the N10,000 to soldiers during the last presidential election.
When confronted by Izinyon that
by their action they were bribing security officials, the witness said no. “We
did not pay bribe.”
