The persistent scourge of vote buying in Nigeria’s electoral process has constituted a matter for serious worry to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) senatorial candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District in the 2023 elections, Attom Mohammed Magira.
Consequently, he advised the electorate in the district: “Since they (vote-buying politicians) cannot stop buying votes, when they come to you with their money, take it, but vote the right candidate.”
Addressing his teeming supporters at Bama, Magira attributed bad political leadership to the ‘cash-for-vote’ syndrome in the country’s electoral process.
He appealed to the Borno Central electorate to vote for him, saying, however, that he has no money to give them, but he possessed the required character, capacity and commitment to deploy and provide them the required representation at the National Assembly.
He promised to execute qualitative constituency projects for the development of education, women and youth empowerment and health for the people of the district.
