The Ekiti State governorship candidate of the Accord Party, Opeyemi Falegan, has raised the alarm over alleged voter inducement at his polling unit in Idofin, Ado-Ekiti.
“I have just exercised my civic responsibility by casting my vote in the Ekiti State governorship election as a candidate at my polling unit in Idofin Ado-Ekiti,” Falegan said in a Facebook post on Saturday.
He alleged that the electoral process had been marred by voter inducement and laxity on the part of security agents in maintaining order.
He alleged that some individuals offered voters in his polling unit the sum of N20,000 to vote for one of the other candidates.
“It was really sad to see vote buying everywhere at 20k per vote, and security agents synergising with those acts,” the Accord Party candidate said.
He noted that the ongoing election did not represent what “a good democratic process” should be.
He stated that he condemned the process, and concluded that no election took place in the state.
“20k for 4 years. That is 5k per year. Ayeyintibajeeeee,” Falegan said in another post.
He also alleged that INEC’s Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) failed to work effectively.
