The wicked tactics of corrupt politicians. Keep them poor and during election give them crumbs and they ll do ur bidding. It has aLways been working. I just wish we can change that

A very big SHAME on all of them that should their future for 500 . Just imagine dividing the 500Naira into 4 years.

Hmmm will Nigeria ever change haba with all we are passing through

Ndieri eri!

Did your delegates not sell their own votes for thousands of dollars? What's the difference?

Everybody with PVC is becoming like some delegates.

EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives

What is the observer saying? Did he not observe the primaries? Election in Nigeria requires exchange of money. Election is monetized. It encourages looting of the treasury.

Hungry have turn people mind to be fool to sell they're birthright, what country shame

After reading this type of news, you want to give up hope of seeing Nigeria changed bcos the citizens lacks moral courage to effect positive change. Can you imagine collecting N500 to sell their future?

Why should Ekiti sell their votes in Naira when the party flag bearers bought their delegates with hard currency 💴 dollars 💵 and pounds?
