Osun PDP disqualifies aspirants with less than N500m in Bank

The PDP in Osun East senatorial district declared on Monday in Osogbo, the Osun State
capital, that it had disqualified governorship aspirants in the area who had less than N500
million in their bank accounts. Duro Famojuro, the party’s deputy leader of Ijesa Elders’
Caucus, said this at a news  conference in Ilesa, organised to present the party’s aspirant
from the area.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Gbenga Onigbogi, a House of
Representatives member, who was adopted by the group, formally declared his intention for
the 2011 governorship election.

Mr. Famojuro said the caucus investigated the background of about 14 aspirants, to
determine their legibility and financial strength through their bank accounts. He said the
scrutiny was necessary to avoid the mistake of the past when the party sponsored
campaigns for aspirants.

“Anybody who has less than N500 million can’t go for the governorship race. It is the
caucus’ decision that nobody will give aspirants the money to campaign.”

Mr. Famojuro said Mr. Onigbogi met the criteria and had been adopted as the only aspirant
qualified to run the race in Ijesaland for the governorship seat.

He also said that many young aspirants were eliminated because they had not contested
for even a councillorship position before aspiring to become governor.

Gubernatorial Fraud, that is what I call it, If he spent 500m to run, would he not spend 500b while
sitting? If Nigeria is going to get out of boundage, reality must be faced concerning moneybag
politician in Nigeria politics.
