Member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila has alleged that the People Democratic Party (PDP) is offering a bribe to its members to defect.
Gbajabiamila said this on Thursday after a meeting of the APC caucus in Abuja as he noted that “I have heard and even ashamed to say it that members are being offered mouth-watering figures in terms of cash and I say mouthwatering and members have rejected those cash.
“Mr. Chairman [Adams Oshiomhole], not only are they being offered mouth-watering cash, they are also being given automatic tickets and I say to members, the people who are complaining about internal democracy in APC, a complaint I do not agree with, how come they are offered automatic tickets and they accept, what are they complaining about in the other party?
“Our members have settled their deceit because that is what it is and I can guarantee that the automatic ticket is just a mirage. They will not be given and I can guarantee that.
“Mr chairman, what we are seeing is the euphoria of the decamping and it has not died down.
“Even in 24 hours, some are even regretting, we are beginning to see people come back after seeing the handwriting on the wall that it came and just left like that.
“So Mr Chairman, we are blessed that some people left thinking that the pasture was greener on the other side, some are coming back seeing that the greener pasture was not that green.”
