Disclosing this to the public today, the Director of the APC New Media Campaign Committee, Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah, confirmed the donations, stating that the the gifts would have a greater impact on the political landscape.
He said: “Shaibu and Ogbeide-Ihama’s support for the APC is likely to galvanize other PDP members to reconsider their positions, potentially leading to increased support for our party.
“As the PDP grapples with these significant contributions to the APC, we are solidifying our position and building unprecedented momentum.”
