EKO HOT BLOG reports that Yemi Osinbajo recently shared $300 each, to over 400 APC Presidential nomination delegates in Adamawa and Taraba states.
This is coming despite the crash of the Nigerian naira against the US dollar.
The Vice President reportedly switched from doling out money in naira to hard currency in order to stay on top of his game.
According to Sahara reporters, at a meeting held behind closed doors in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital and Yola, in Adamawa State on Wednesday, Osinbajo gave each delegate to the APC National Convention US $300.
“I was handed an envelope containing $300 shortly after the Vice President left the hall,” a delegate told our correspondent while displaying the money.
He was said to have pleaded with the delegates to favour his candidacy above all others in the race, arguing that he has more experience in governance at home and on the international stage than all his competitors.
The Press previously reported in April that some presidential delegates of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the South-West on Friday went home with N250,000 each after attending a meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in Ibadan, Oyo State.

“This was what we were given by Osinbajo today,” a delegate had said while showing the money packaged in an envelope.
A visibly elated VP was accompanied to Muna Hotel in Yola, the venue of the meeting by some APC party senators, House of Representatives members and cronies of President Muhammadu Buhari.
