Dele Momodu, a veteran journalist and member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), recently alleged that during the 2022 PDP presidential primaries, an unnamed aspirant gave each delegate $30,000 as an inducement to secure votes. Momodu made this revelation while criticizing the widespread use of monetary inducements in Nigerian politics, highlighting how such practices undermine democratic processes.
This claim sheds light on the influence of money in internal party elections, sparking renewed debates about electoral reforms and the need to curb corruption in Nigeria’s political system. Momodu did not name the aspirant, but his statement has drawn attention to the excessive monetization of politics in the country.
