Meet The Lawyer Who Was paid $500 To Register Fake APC

Nwokorie Chinedu: lawyer to the ‘fake APC’

A Nigerian lawyer, Nwokorie Samuel Chinedu has revealed that he was paid N80,000, about $500, in two instalments by a PDP youth leader, to inform the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC about the
intention of the controversial African Peoples Congress (APC), to seek registration.
Nwokorie, told TheNation newspaper that he was hired by Ugochinyere Ikenga sometime in February to file the application – an action which has introduced a discomforting twist to the fusion of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and Congres for Progressive Change (CPC), into a new party, the All Progressives Party (APC).
The copy-cat “APC” is believed to be a creation of the PDP to throw a spanner in the works for the real APC.
According to the lawyer, Ikenga paid him N30, 000 before he filed the papers. The “client” paid him N50, 000 later and gave him a Samsung Galaxy phone after the job had been done.
Nwokorie said he took the brief as a young lawyer eager to earn a living without any inkling of what Ikenga had in mind. He added that Ikenga told him that he was acting on behalf of the promoters of the party.

Meanwhile, Ikenga has kept telling Nwokorie that he should not bother himself about the heat generated by the action, assuring him that the sponsors of the application would handle the matter.
