In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Edo governorship election, major political parties, including the All Progressives Congress (APC)
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Edo governorship election, major political parties, including the All Progressives Congress , Peoples Democratic Party , and Labour Party , are being accused of mobilising massive funds for vote-buying.
Another insider confirmed that the parties involved are ready to go to extreme lengths to secure victory. “Election mandates are becoming less credible as a result of this sad trend. Our observers witnessed political parties handing out cash, presents, and food items in several areas.” He described vote-buying as a sign of transactional politics and warned that parties engaging in the practice were not acting in the people's interests.
He further alleged that the APC had resorted to recruiting thugs from neighbouring states to assist in manipulating the election.
