The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress and CEO of Roots TV, Dumebi Kachikwu, on Wednesday revealed his wife pleaded with him to bribe delegates in the just-concluded presidential primary of the party to avoid disgrace. He said that despite not spending a dime for delegates before the primary election, he was surprised he defeated aspirants who shared money to delegates. My opponents shared money to the delegates. In the morning of the next day, my wife said, ‘Please, spend this money on the delegates to avoid disgrace, you have it’ and I told her my conscience forbids that. I was already delivering my speech accepting defeat when I saw that the body language of the delegates had changed.
