The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Bamidele Akingbola, has alleged that some political parties are involved in vote buying in the Ondo State governorship election in the Okitipupa local government area.
The candidate spoke in an interview with a TVC at the polling unit 010, Olaleye Headquarters, Okitipupa Local Government Area of the state, after he voted, saying some voters were being induced to pick some parties.
He could be heard saying, “I voted here as a candidate 10 mins ago and I sat down there, some of the group of people came in here and started telling them where to vote, it’s not proper, it’s not proper.
“What I want to see is orderliness, we need it here if you finish your vote, leave where you finished voting and sit somewhere else.
“The contention now is that, there are some groups of people telling the other group (the electorate) where to vote, and they’re paying them there.
“They’re there with POS, they’re paying them there.
“Everybody here wants to vote for me but they’re trying to fringe it.”
