APC intensifying votes buying in Edo, PDP alleges | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

State Publicity Secretary, Chris Osa Nehikhare, who spoke on behalf of the state PDP Campaign Council, said, “Our attention has been drawn to a video that has been trending on social media platforms, in which APC members were sighted distributing clothes and money to Edo women in exchange for their Permanent Voter Cards .

“On Tuesday, we alerted members of the public to a similar vote buying scheme by the APC with an emergency Federal Government empowerment programme, aimed at obtaining PVCs from voters ahead of the election. “We wish to state that any such scheme aimed at sharing money to voters at this time, amounts to votes buying and we urge the international community to sanction the government officials behind the schemes designed to induce Edo voters, contrary to provisions of the Electoral Act.”

Mayaki said, “We appreciate President Buhari for the effort. We thank the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo for the timely intervention and for recognising Edo women.
