The supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party have been accused of distributing packets of salt to residents of Abia State ahead of the 2023 general elections.

This has been described by analysts as a form of vote-buying, which is punishable with a fine of N500,000 or a jail term or both under the law.

This was made known by Almaigaa on Nairaland who claimed that many residents were expecting Obi to distribute grains and had vowed not to vote for him during the election because it was only salt they got.

He said, “Aswear Peter Obi too stingy. He dey share #50 Salt for Aba. Instead of him to share either Rice, Beans or any valuable thing. People just dey insult am here. Most People no gree collect. Few that collected,swear that they will never vote Peter Obi.”

He shared a picture of the packets of salt branded with the logo of Labour Party and the names of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi & Yusuf Datti.

A Google reverse image search done by SaharaReporters shows that the picture was new on the internet.

SaharaReporters earlier reported how Obi’s supporters distributed food items to Kwara State residents last Wednesday.

In a viral video on Twitter, the party’s supporters were calling the names of the residents and giving them grains in a particular sequence.

It was learnt that this happened when the party’s supporters took their grassroots mobilisation and sensitisation to the rural areas of Kwara State.

Vote-buying has been at the forefront of every election in Nigeria, and SaharaReporters reported that the 2022 governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states were no different. Interestingly, it was taken a notch higher in the governorship elections.

I need some OBIDIENT salt

There is need for Obiidiots to get salt because they are always bitter I guess.

So Obingo is very strategic in distributing salt. That man na clown.

So, if I decide to share salt to my friends and print Obidient on it to let them know I love what Peter Obi is doing, is it Vote buying?

Yes it is. Share it without printing obingo on it. If it's APC logo on that salt, your mouth go sharp.

You people are hell-bent on packaging a fraud as our messiah.

Can you swear that only Obidients got the politically packaged salt?

May they continue to labour in vain.
