The lawmaker made this disclosure while speaking when he appeared on Channels Television on Wednesday.
Oloriegbe, who was aspiring to return to the red chamber in 2023 but lost the primary to Salihu Mustapha, accused the State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq of manipulating the election in his (governor) favour.

However, the federal lawmaker made it known that the cash was for logistics.
According to him: “In my own election (primary), 17 delegates came back to give me money which I gave them for logistics; others did not because they said ‘we wanted to vote for you, but we are not allowed to vote’.
“There was one of my colleagues in Kogi who mentioned that people came back (to return his money).”
