Hedonisst:


So your point is? Ignore the APCs sins (in spite of its holier than tbou posture) and focus on the PDP right? You APC hypocritical fools all deserve to be dissolved in acid like the vermin you are.

Nothing further to discuss with scum like you. Get lost.

Calling you a fool and a scum will be an insult to all other fools and scums out there. Even the vermin will feel incensed.

As you're unable to engage in discussion without throwing insults, I'm tempted to believe that is as a result of faulty and terrible upbringing you must have had, or total lack of one.

Have a nice day.

Is Fayemi a billionaire? Where did he get those monies from?

Fayemi will steal from Ekiti people to pay the money back plus interest.

Heard Chief Arthur Eze borrowed him 7 billion.

If true, then Chief Arthur Eze must be d.a.f.t throwing that kind of useless investment. Even in your East, we are apprised with stories of godfathers who "invest" in their prodigies only for such to "bone" the godfather

fantastic1:

PDP is evil we all know. But I thought APC came to fight corruption. So to fight corruption, you have to practice it because the other party is practicing it?

Unfortunately in this case scenario, options were limited. Fayose had played the Ekiti populace into a sort of psychological imprisonment. When he doles out monies to NRTWA and area boys, yet owes civil servant's salaries since December.......you cannot preach "don't buy votes" to people who are hungry.

Let's assume APC did not use the strategy, was Fayose not guaranteed to buy votes? What about the story that Wike & Udom funded Ekiti Campaign?(Except Fayose is more wicked than imagined, where did he get monies to buy votes and could not have paid....even if his half-salary?)

Five thousand by 197k votes is not even up to a billion. .. and that is 'if' all the 197k was paid 5k.
Secondly, both PDP and APC bribed.
Biggest donors;
PDP = Atiku, Wike, Kwankwaso
APC = Tinubu, Ali Sherrif,

Strange that no PDP governor even Wike have visited Fayose since then. But I saw Wike in Kwara dressed like Aboki.

AFONJAS has shows how useless they are.... how can you sell your conscience because of 4000 naira I can comfortably enter one joint chop Isi ewu and 2 bottles of 33 larger beer go home with out stress... this shown poverty has eaten deep in yellowbar land

emperorzz:
I am ashamed of the Ekiti people who in all these are saying nothing. They are probably proud of themselves that they made some peas out of the election, they allowed politicians to pay them for their votes. They will have no right to complain when they start paying back for it in the future.

Why exactly are you ashamed of Ekiti people? What's you stake in Ekiti? Why take panadol for another man's headache.......

....but that aside, Ekiti people had been complaining, but Fayose turned a deaf hear. His political structures had been complaining but Fayose was adamant. It is disrespectful to the Ekiti people to think only Vote-buying undid Fayose. Me thinks vote-buying prevented Fayose's ace moves only

UnchangeableGod:
Sir, vote buying, bribery and corruption did not start today. That is why our president, who is supposedly a man of integrity was elected to fight and kill corruption including vote buying. PDP cannot swear that they too did not bribe the voters. The difference according to reports is that the PDP paid before service while the APC paid after service (with evidence of voting for the party and in collusion with the security agents). This act of vote buying should be vehemently condemned because it poses a great danger. The government in power now will not be there for ever but is setting a precedent. God bless Nigeria.

You are contradicting yourself..you said vote buying did not start today and you are now saying the government in power is setting a bad precedent. The PDP started all this vote buying, so they have already set a bad precedent. I think the only solution is for the electoral act to be amended to include severe punishment for any party caught buying of votes

lextube:


That's not vote buying. That's like stomach infrastructure, because money was shared before the election. Apc did the same thing by giving out free fuel to Ekiti indigenes in some part of Ekiti which nobody is complaining about. Aside the bribery and vote buying perpetrated by APC on the day of election, the result was still doctored to give Fayemi the lead.

Doctored on a random sheet of paper with no INEC logo and official stamp? Doctored when all the results from polling boots and LGAs are electronically transmitted to INEC? Doctored when all party agents signed the results from each location? Pls tell me something else.......

Hedonisst:


Are you alright?

Did PDP claim holier than tbou? Is it not Buhari and the APC that came to power based on anti corruption mantra, so why should they be allowed to get away with the same thing that PDP was condemned for?

That cannot stand in court..

GuyfawkesAB:
I dont know why Fayemi's name is being bandied around more tha n necessary over this vote-buying issue. Do you know that Fayose initially credited civil servants with N3k each; paid Bus drivers and okada riders N1,500 and N1, 000 respectively to park their vehicles so as to shut down Ado-Ekiti the day the President visited; and then the big box of cash that flew in from a South-South governor from which people got N4k each. Fayemi's party was only sharing N4,000 to N5,000 on election day.

If you are raising this issue, point to both parties and stop crying Fayemi alone

GUY,YOU DEY WINE ME?!!!!!

i lived in ikere and Ado for over 5 years...do you know how much bus drivers make per day that Fayose will pay them 1k5... if i hear say hin try am...

if you say 20k i believe you... 20k is more like it and fayose only did it in Ado and Ikere only thats why his candidate won both LGAs

Vote buying is part of our politics in Nigeria and nobody can stop it. Politicians in our country influence voters by going to them before and during elections. That was what brought Fayose too as the governor. All the major parties in Nigeria are going that. In Ekiti election PDP bought votes days before election and during the election . Voters received bank alerts on their phones bearing Ekiti government raging from 3k to 7k while some were even given cash to influence them during the election. APC too gave money to voters from 5lk to 10k. However Ekiti people collected money from the two parties but still voted according to their preferences and consciences.Vote buying is just a strategy which is not tenable at the tribunal because it cannot be substantiated.In view of this, Ekiti election is still free and fair for there are no criminal reports on the election that are peculiar to all the wards that can mar the results of the election. The police report is also a credit to the election .

Vote buying started before you were born 16yrs ago

Who is talking about Fayose? At these age and times, people should be able to raise an alarm if and when any one approaches them with bribe money on the day of election. Its about saving our future by discouraging all political 'rascalities'.

Sir, you are right. Money politics did not start today, not even in 1999 when the PDP came on board. But it has gotten to a new low level even now that the party in power is supposedly fighting corruption. Hasn't it? That is the dangerous precedent I am talking about. You are also right on the need for legislation recommending severe punishment for any party caught buying votes. But the question is, who will catch the vote buyers? The same security personnel that looked the other way for the national ruling party agents to buy votes freely while the opposition part agents are harassed and hounded? Who will prosecute the vote buyers? The same government whose party the buying and intimidation favours? The party in powerin Nigeria have demonstrated that they are selective in their justice system. So you will naturally expect them to focus their attention on their opponents caught while their own agents will continue to buy votes unhindered. They will tell you to wait until the opposition get to power (when they cannot match the party in power in vote buying?)in order to balance the equation. Where do we go from here?

He got the money from the $31 million in Mama Piss Sheppopo's medical account and got the rest from her gardener, cook and maid's account.

That is why Mr president deserve another 4 years and we need like 2 or more presidents like Buhari to come before all this things can be kill or reduce.

You don't just expect it to be easy for Buhari to kill within 3 years all this things that we have mastered for many years now.

Sir, sincerely speaking, is the president of Nigeria fighting corruption? If he were, I wouldn't be bothered. What he is obviously doing is using the fight against corruption to demonize and annihilate the opposition do as to pave way for his second term. The way he is going is not killing corruption. Not at all. He is intentionally or inadvertently encouraging the thieves in his party to steal as much as possible so long as they remain in the same page with him and for the thieves in the opposition to cross over and become saints. Examples abound of the allegedly corrupt people in his cabinet and party who are untouchables no matrer the evidence and noise against them. But same allegation against the opposition or critics of the government and the EFCC (which has shown to be an arm of the ruling party) swings into action and engages them in media trials. My candid opinion is that the president is not after eradicating corruption in Nigeria but simply making a name out of it and using it for political ends. God bless Nigeria.

Is it Buharo that will change the mindset of the voters and politicians?

yes&no. voters have a duty 2 protect their votes & not allow politicians sway them with monetary inducements but d impression Nigerians got in 2015 is that Buhari is a man of integrity, corruption free&APC a party of progressive politicians who won't repeat d failings of APC. We aren't supposed 2b reading this in d dailys that APC bought votes. Its a dent on buhari & his so called anti corruption stance. Its his party& if they are buying votes, then they aren't better than PDP.

When did Vote buying get included in Buhari's campaign ??

Corruption and Graft among public workers and recovery of loots

Weldone twisting , it won't put food on your table

Sir, this is the problem with our 'over educated' people. They box words and definitions to a corner. Sir, in case you don't know the expanded meaning of corruption, let me define and explain it. Corruption is the use of one's office, position or privileges to get undue advantage. The use of bribery, the security, intimidation and any other illegal means to favour your candidate is part of corruption. It is abuse of office. It is akin to a teacher using the privilege of awarding marks to ask for support, money or sex. Ditto the police and other public officers. Fighting the 'corrupt' in the opposition while the 'corrupt' in your party and cabinet are regarded as sacred cows is not even fighting corruption to start with. It is corruption of office in the first place. Stop shifting the goal post. Corruption is corruption. Vote buying is corruption. Arrest of opposition supporters in the eve of election to pave way for your candidate is part of abuse of power which is corruption. May God deliver us from hypocrites forming as saints and saviours. God bless Nigeria.
