The source said It was gathered that the late multi billionaire politician had paid the sum of N25million for Labour Party’s Governorship form for the Nov. 11, 2023 Gubernatorial contest.
He was also said to have bought vehicles for the 27 local government chairmen of the Party ahead of the Imo State Gubernatorial election scheduled for November, 2023.
