Presidency may probe APC NWC over bribery allegations
President Muhammadu Buhari may soon order an investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption trailing the governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) conducted in Anambra State.
The President is said to be unhappy with members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC who were allegedly induced financially to influence the outcome of the poll.
The anger, New Telegraph learnt, was due to the allegations that some of the national officers of the party were involved in a bribery scam and might have become compromised before the primaries.
There were also further allegations that a N150 million bribe was offered to some of the NWC members to upturn the outcome of the primary election in favour of a certain candidate.
A presidency source told New Telegraph that President Buhari was disappointed at these allegations of financial inducement during and after the governorship primaries and might order an investigation to unravel the truth of the matter.
