An aspirant who failed to secure the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the House of Representatives election has reportedly recovered over N100 million from delegates, with the use of vigilantes and hunters.
Shehu Sani, a former senator, said this in a tweet on Tuesday evening.

“A man who has lost the House of reps ticket in Kaduna has recovered over M100 Million from Delegates this evening using vigilantes and hunters,” Sani tweeted.
Daily Trust could not independently verify if the politician was real or being hilarious.
The former lawmaker had earlier tweeted that some aspirants who lost the recent the primaries had been moving from house to house, arresting delegates who collected their money and didn’t vote for them.
Daily Trust had reported how delegates smiled to the bank during the PDP primary in Kaduna.
Adam Namadi, son of former Vice-President Namadi Sambo, after securing just two votes had asked delegates to refund the N2 million each he doled out before the PDP primaries in Kaduna North Federal Constituency of the House of Representatives.
Namadi, who had promised to add N1.5 million to the amount given to each of the delegates, secured the least votes among the three contenders.
Mixed reactions have trailed Sani’s tweet.
Tweeting via @Tomiwaak, one Tomiwa Akinboile said, “Good news. U no vote for me, pay me back my money. Oga Sani, please contact ur friend @dino_melaye he might need d assistance of those hunters to hunt for his refund too in kogi, because those delegates there too no show love 😄😃”
@PoojaMedia: “So he paid 100m & when he enters, he pack 80billion? God catch am.”
@Karovoni said, “N100m just to win House of reps primary. Not the main election o, just primary. How much do you think he’s going to steal if he wins the election?”
@Chukslinusobi: “f he uses the Nigerian police he would have recovered more than the #100m. The delegates deserve this, money for hand back for ground.😅😅”
@OdiugwuK: ‘Completely in support of him recovering his money…..since it’s about “money for hand back for ground” Do the job or give me back my money.”
@onupaul: “Those vigilantes and hunters should stand by because @atiku will need them soon, Wike will collect his own by himself.”
@musajidda: “EFCC should copy this shortest recovery method, and avoid wasting tax payers money.”
