Ahmed Gulak Alleges He Was Tempted With $2m, Jet Ride To Rig Primary For Nwosu In Imo.

Ahmed Gulak, the former political adviser in the administration of Goodluck Jonathan and current chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has alleged he was tempted with a whooping $2 million and a jet ride to influence the outcome of the primary election of the party in Imo state recently.

Gulak, who was the chairman of the Imo state governorship primary of the party, that produced Senator Hope Uzodinma as the governorship candidate ahead of 2019, said he was also offered a ride in a private jet from Abuja to Imo.

Giving details about what transpired during the primaries in an interview with Daily Independent, Gulak said: “Naturally, even before I went to Imo state, I was offered a private jet to take me to Imo state by Imo Government House and their proxies but I refused because I don’t want to be compromised. “I refused the private jet and even the tempting offer made to me, very tempting, we are talking about two million dollars here, which I refused.

Although, I tried to persuade them that I am going to do what is needful, free and fair primaries. “Every stakeholder must be involved. Immediately we landed at the airport, that was where the problem started. They wanted to kidnap every member and only God knows where they wanted to take us to, which I refused. “And to say the least, I pity the Imo people but they have to take their destiny in their own hands and elect who they feel will represent them better. I am not from Imo state but I am a Nigerian.

There is equality and there is equity,” he said. Gulak lamented that “some of our governors, I am sorry to say this, they take state resources as their personal resources and we know that power is transient.

After four or eight years you are out of power and the system will get you. But having said that, I am happy that the party has vindicated me and I know it is the best decision for the people of Imo state.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, November 1, met behind closed doors with Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
