Pointing out the money politics behind primary elections in Nigeria, Mr Okupe said aspirants must be ready to part with huge sums of money as “the poorer aspirant irrespective of pedigree, competence or suitability, may have no chance of winning at all.”

He cited an instance of two aspirants vying for a position in the Ogun House of Assembly who had already begun wooing delegates at their wards with N150,000 and N200,000.

“As I write this piece, a delegate election to elect the state assembly member for my local government is underway. Information reaching me from the venue is that one of the two contestants (sic) is offering N200,000 per delegate while the other has offered N150,000,” Mr Okupe disclosed.
