If feelers reaching Sentry from the Ijebu Central Federal Constituency in Ogun State are anything to go by, then some politicians who participated in the just concluded primary election of one of the two leading political parties in the state should not sleep with two eyes closed henceforth. This is because some House of Representatives aspirants who lost at the keenly contested election for the ticket of the concerned party are said to have met and resolved to go after delegates who took their money and refused to deliver at the primary election.

“The aspirants met at a hotel in the constituency of Wednesday following realisation that they might all have been conned by a set of party leaders. These leaders took millions of naira from all of these aspirants with promises to deliver the votes of a particular group of delegates to them on Election Day, but failed to do so. It has even been discovered that rather than share the money they collected to the delegates, these party leaders pocketed the money and watched the aspirants lose at the primary election,” a source explained.

Upon realizing they had all been swindled by these party leaders who themselves were delegates at the election, the aspirants resolved to get their monies back from the politicians by hook or crook.

Consequently, they have reported the concerned party chieftains to security agencies. “The police have promised to wade into the matter soon and ensure justice is done,” the source said.
