As the 2019 governorship election draws near, the governorship candidate of the All Grand Alliance Party, AGAP, Mr. Okonya Edwards has raised an alarm alleging that some persons had offered millions of naira to sell his guber ticket.
He said he was able to resist the temptation to pave way for highly placed persons in Imo State from hijacking the party.
Speaking to newsmen, he said “I resisted it because to me Money is not everything in life and one cannot forget that we came to this world with nothing and we will go back to God with nothing.
“I know I need money, but not at the expense of Imo people who have been suffering and desirous of good governance in 2019
“We all have conscience and should know that any thing done to sabotage the people will definitely work against me in the future. I thank God I can stand tall and bold with the masses finally” he said.
His confession is coming on the heels another governorship aspirant, Dr. Iroegbu Njoku vowed to go to court to reclaim the party’s guber ticket having emerged the rightful winner of the 7th October, 2018 governorship primary of the party.
He claimed to have the financial muscle, capacity and technical know-how and vowed never to allow any body no matter how highly placed to ridicule his efforts in the party not to talk of taking his mandate.
