APC Disowns Wadume, Dares Him To Name Who Gave Him N13 Million

By Emmanuel Aziken

The All Progressives Congress, APC has disowned the Taraba millionaire kidnapper, Hamisu Bala over his claim that he received N13 million from the party in the course of the recent presidential election.

Responding to the claim the party dared him to name the person who gave him the money even as it disclosed that it does not have budget for thugs.

Bala, otherwise known as Wadume recently came into national attention after he was arrested by the police but eventually freed by soldiers who also killed three of the policemen who apprehended him.

Following his re-arrest by the police, Wadume spilled the beans over his connections with the political class as he revealed that he was given N13 million by the APC. He also revealed that Governor Dairus Ishaku gave him N6 million.

Responding to the revelations in a statement on Saturday, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu said:

“It is expected that the alleged kidnapper, having come face to face with justice, would throw whatever he could lay his hands on into the fray. In any case, our party did not have budget for thugs. 

“Unlike the period when the ruling party dipped hands into the public treasury to fund political campaigns and elections, APC had to rely on its own resources.

“Even if we had all the money, we would never allocate money for kidnappers and murderers. That era ended with PDP.

“Perhaps, he can name whoever gave him money. Definitely, it was not APC. From his purported confession, he claimed to be a PDP member before he went on to contest under another party.”
