Osun election: Political parties engage in vote buying in Ikire

Date:

Agents of the Accord Party and the All Progressives Congress, APC, were seen engaged in vote buying at AUD Primary School in Atile, Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of Osun State.

The party agents stationed themselves around the polling booths to monitor the voters.

The move is to monitor voters and their ballot papers to ensure they cast their votes for their candidate.

It was further observed that as soon as a voter casts his or her vote, a party agent hands over a tag to enable the voter to claim their cash.

An Accord Party agent, Ajayi Ayodele, was seen accusing APC agents of clustering around the polling booths to monitor the ballot papers.
