Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomole has denied allegations that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is engaged in vote-buying in the ongoing governorship election in Edo State. Speaking with newsmen shortly after casting his vote at Iyamho, Ward 10 Unit 01 in Estako West LGA, Oshiomhole said it was laughable to hear such allegation.
The ex-Edo governor said he had not received any report of violence from anywhere across the state. He expressed satisfaction over the peaceful conduct of the election across the state, while also commending the elderly ones for turning out to vote at the election. According to him, their decision is borne out of a desire to see a better Edo for their children.
“People turned out in large number to vote for us because they want good government. “During our campaign people came out to see me not because I wanted to give them something, but because of what I have done for them while I was in the office as the governor. “I am very enthusiastic to see the elderly ones coming out to vote in this election.
