The African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate in the Ibadan North Federal Constituency by-election, Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu, has accused some politicians of engaging in vote buying during Saturday’s poll.
Speaking after casting his vote at Ward 11, Polling Unit 38, University of Ibadan, Akin-Alamu said he received reports that money and other inducements were offered to voters in exchange for their support.
He described the practice as a direct assault on the integrity of the electoral process and the principles of democracy.
