Ahmad SahabiThe Transformation Monitoring Group , a civil society organisation says there were cases of “vote-buying” in all the LGAs of Ekiti during the just-concluded governorship election.
The Ekiti governorship election was held over the weekend and Biodun Oyebanji of the All Progressives Congress was declared winner of the exercise. Auwal Rafsanjani, chairman of the group, in a statement on Tuesday, condemned the “vote-buying”, and also asked the Independent National Electoral Commission to improve on the deployment of the bimodal voter accreditation system .
“Vote-buying was observed across the 16 local government areas of the state with political parties bidding for the votes of electorates,” the statement reads.“The ability of Ekiti politicians to make light of such a grave violation of extant law is most unfortunate.“Reports from field observers indicate that it takes at least 3 minutes to accredit a voter using the BVAS in 41% of the locations observed.
