Momodu regrets spending N50 million on nomination form

Momodu who lamented that he could have used his N50 million for key investment, stated he would not contest for any party’s presidential ticket unless adopted as a consensus candidate.

The PDP chieftain said:

"I spent about 50 million Naira buying the form and it was a waste; not even one vote. There was one of the candidates who paid as high as $30,000 per delegate and we had 774 delegates."
