A media aide has made a claim about a presidential candidate's spending habits. The aide, who works for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, says the candidate gave money to delegates while seeking a party's presidential ticket. This challenges a common perception of the candidate as frugal.

The claim was made during a television appearance, where the aide argued that money plays a significant role in politics. The aide suggested that politicians should be more transparent about their spending.

Further information about the claim and the aide's comments can be found in the original report.
