Kwara PDP In Trouble As Ajia Drags Guber Candidate, Yaman To Court Over Unpaid 2500 Dollars Debt

Dr. Abdulmumin Yinka Ajia, a former candidate for governor of Kwara state on the ticket of the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP), has filed a lawsuit against Shuaibu Yaman Abdullahi, the PDP’s candidate for governor, for a debt of $2500.

The FidelinfoNews reports this was contained in suit no. KWSG/280/2022 pending at High Court, sitting in Ilorin Kwara State.

Ajia after trying to reach out to Yaman through his friends and political friends resort to litigation as his final of reclaiming the fund he borrowed Yaman.

The fund was reportedly lent to Yaman in the build up to the primaries to settle party leaders and delegates.

An aide of Ajia said, “Yaman has been running away from the state because he doesn’t want to receive the Court paper.

“That is the issue we are currently having, he’s running away from Kwara State and he doesn’t have a personal house or campaign office where the bailiff can at least paste the document.

Yaman was reported to have hinged the borrowing with the believe that the Minister of Mines and Steel, Gbemisola Saraki would release fund to prosecute his election.

Yaman is an ally of the minister and beckoned upon to pick the ticket of the party as against the candidate of the leaders of the party, Ahman Patigi.

Earlier, the medium has reported how the kwara state PDP is finding it difficult to prosecute election.

Yaman was beckoned upon by Gbemisola Saraki to contest with the promise of funding the election but Yaman have been having incessant trouble.

PAUCITY OF FUNDS

During the Ileya festival, Yaman instead of celebrating at his ancestral home in Edu, Kwara North senatorial district headed to Kaduna State, his base for over 35 years.

He doesn’t have a house nor does his family stays in Kwara.

Also, in a bid to avoid spending so much money for party bigwigs and accolytes.

A PDP chieftain said, “Yaman is not having it cool at the moment at all, he’s having so many financial issues, he can’t even come up with a campaign council.

“Even recently, he struggled to get the 750,000 he gave the Alanamu’s inferno victims after so much back and forth.

“Saraki isn’t ready to commit a dime without his sister Gbemisola Saraki showing serious commitment on her side, because she promised to finance the election herself.

“The money he’s owing Ajia was borrowed during the primary because Bukola Saraki wasn’t around and the party delegates needed to be settled.

“Most of them travelled from far distances, having won it’s customary to settle the delegates as the winner.

“Now Saraki hasn’t been appointed as DG, that’s another financial headache for the party in the state.”
