Akin-Alamu said he has been informed that massive vote buying is currently taking place in some areas.
Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate in the ongoing Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election, has raised concerns over alleged incidents of vote buying in certain polling units and wards.
Akin-Alamu made the claim while speaking with journalists shortly after he voted.
Daily Post reports that the ADC candidate voted at Unit 038 Ward 11 inside the University of Ibadan.
Akin-Alamu said he has been informed that massive vote buying is currently taking place in some areas.
The ADC candidate noted that the vote buying is possible due to the high level of poverty in the country.
He said, “There is vote buying that is going on, it is not an allegation. There is vote buying that is going on in Wards 1 to 4.
“I have the report of what is going on in Wards 7, 8 and 12. So they are not allegations.
“It is not an allegation, it is something that is going on. It is a wholesale thing. It is as a result of the fact that they are giving people money due to the level of poverty.”
