By-election: ADC candidate alleges vote buying in Ibadan
The candidate of African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the ongoing bye-election in Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu, has raised the alarm over alleged vote buying in some polling units and wards.
Akin-Alamu made the claim while speaking with journalists shortly after he voted.
Our correspondent reports that the ADC candidate voted at Unit 038 Ward 11 inside the University of Ibadan.
Akin-Alamu said he has been informed that massive vote buying is currently taking place in some areas.
The ADC candidate noted that the vote buying is possible due to the high level of poverty in the country.
He said, “There is vote buying that is going on, it is not an allegation. There is vote buying that is going on in Wards 1 to 4.
“I have the report of what is going on in Wards 7, 8 and 12. So they are not allegations.
“It is not an allegation, it is something that is going on. It is a wholesale thing. It is as a result of the fact that they are giving people money due to the level of poverty.”
