Ondo state PDP campaign DG, Dr Eddy Olafeso
The Director General of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council for the Ondo state governorship election, Dr Eddy Olafeso has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of engaging in vote -buying in his unit with N10,000 per voter.
Olafeso who stated this after voting at his polling unit 005 Olumekun compound, Ward 12, Idepe in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo state, said the election has been peaceful in his area.
According to him, ” We have been here around 8am and everything appears in line with the electoral law especially the area I voted but our fears is the APC that has not done anything for the people in the last four years are moulding up the process by paying N10,000 to each voters, we have witnessed it here and we have complained and it appears intractable.
“For us, no matter the kind of profligacy they are introducing into the electoral process, truth will prevail in the final analysis.
“You know it is a long process and voting is the first stage , we are waiting for it to be uploaded into IREV, we are waiting to take our from E8CA to ensure that everything is appropriately recorded.
“Like I said, the only fear is the vote buying the APC is trying to entrench into the culture of voting in Nigeria.” (Saturday Tribune)
