Osun election: Political Parties Engage In Vote Buying In Ikire
Agents of the Accord Party and the All Progressives Congress, APC, were seen engaged in vote buying at AUD Primary School in Atile, Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of Osun State.
Vanguard observed that party agents stationed themselves around the polling booths to monitor the voters.
The move is to monitor voters and their ballot papers to ensure they cast their votes for their candidate.
It was further observed that as soon as a voter casts his or her vote, a party agent hands over a tag to enable the voter to claim their cash.
An Accord Party agent, Ajayi Ayodele, was seen accusing APC agents of clustering around the polling booths to monitor the ballot papers.
Aside from the APC, the ruling party (Accord Party) was also engaged in vote buying as he was seen directing voters to a destination after voting to collect their funds.
Security agents, Vanguard observed, were unable to curb the party agents’ activities.
A security agent, whose name was withheld, lamented that he had tried to prevent the agents from loitering around the polling booths, but his efforts proved abortive.
