Gubernatorial running mate of the All Progressives Congress APC Sen Uche Ekwunife has accused Governor Charles Soludo of vote buying to the tune of N5 million per polling unit describing it as an act of corrupting the electorate.
This is coming about two hours after commotion erupted at PEkwunife polling units at Regal Secondary school Nri in Anaocha local government area of Anambra state.
At least two persons sustained various degrees of injury and but for the quick intervention of security operatives it would have taken a different angle .
But the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA Mazi Ejimofor Opara countered Ekwunife insisting that there was no such thing .
According to Ekwunife;
“The process is going well but we are witnessing so much vote buying where in some poling units the Governor gave as much as N5 million per polling unit”
“As a former lawmaker, I will definitely advise my colleagues to do something more drastic about vote buying in Nigeria and if id is not checked it would be difficult for people who are competent who has the capacity to lead to get the opportunity to serve their people”
“This what is happening in Anambra state where a Governor instead of providing good governance you are busy corrupting people through monetary inducements ”
“The Governor sent some things and infact before we got here Governor sent about 100 thugs to come and disrupt the election but of course as a politician they is on the ground and an eminent personality in this community that have attracted most of the infrastructures here through my personal contributions not executive position I resisted it ”
“I am happy that they didn’t succeed because the people massively resisted it”she said.
Continuing the National Publicity Secretary of APGA Mazi Ejimofor Opara noted that ;
“The Governor do not need to be involved in vote buying going by the homongus developmental strides so far in his first term in office and Ekwunife knows that she is loosing and that explains why she is crying wolf where there is non ” he said.
