The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State, is probing alleged reports that a gubernatorial aspirant for the 2015 election in the state illegally administered oath on some local government delegates from Igboeze North Local Government Area to get votes during the party primaries.
.
The probe panel is headed by Chief Mike Ejinima, a former deputy director of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and vice chairman of PDP in Enugu North Senatorial District.

It was learnt that the aspirant who hails from Ojebe-Ogone, part of Nsukka, reportedly administered oaths on some of the local government ward officers after giving each of them about N200,000.

The money-for-vote scandal was said to have caused crises in the party, as members complained that it was unthinkable that anybody could take some party faithful to a shrine in a bid to win an election that was two years away when nobody knew what would even happen tomorrow.
