Afonja Vote Selling Is Why Osinbanjo Is About To Get Booted Out by ODB2: 1:23pm On Sep 24, 2019
Old post that predicted vote buying by Osinbanjo and massive looting that followed

Bonanza for SW VOTERS AS BUHARI EARMARKS 150BN FOR VOTE BUYING

The impoverished SW voters are set to get a boost with the President accenting to approving a proposal to increase amount of money budgeted by the Buhari Campaign Organization for Voter enticement in the entire SW.

Our source indicated that the original amount slated for each registered SW voter of Yoruba origin was actually 3,000 naira – one thousand naira higher than what the ruling party doled out in the recent Osun governorship elections. However, the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the flag bearer of the main opposition party, has led to the Buhari Campaign Office to increase the cost of each vote by as much as 7,000 naira which will translate to 10,000 naira per afonja voter.

The total number of registered voters in the SW as gathered from INEC voters’ register is put at 5.4 million. The committee set up within the Buhari Campaign Office to handle the vote buying scheme was however instructed to liaise with INEC in order to sieve only registered voters of Yoruba descent. As at filling this report, the committee had yet to finish their assignment but it is widely believed that approximately 70-75% of the total registered voters in the SW will be of Yoruba origins and given that at most, voter turn-out is expect to be at 60%, the total sum being proposed was put at a whooping 150 billion naira.

When presented with the plan by President Buhari to increase the cost of each vote from 3,000 to 10,000 naira, Mama Iyatade, a tomatoes trader at Osogbo main market, stated that it was ‘’a welcomed development’ and that she prays that God will keep the President and his family happy and blessed. Tajudeen, an unemployed lout who claimed to be a mechanic, told this reporter that if the proposal was true then he can’t wait for 2019 elections so that he can cast his vote for baba Buhari lasun.

We talked to Prof Ibrahim Muktar Gbamgbose of the Ansaradeen Sharia Law Center, in Iwo Emirate if there were any legal reprimissions in buying votes to which he responded,” the quaran does not support democracy but rather calls for Muslims to support only pious Muslims” and added also that “as long as the money is from the national coffers, it was the rightful right of all Muslims to partake of it”.

However, this reporter noted that the committee handling the voter enticement scheme did not extend such program to other regions in the country. When prodded why the BCO will omit other regions, our source within the BCO stated that the scheme was only for SW since it was observed that vote selling was rife and was part and parcel of voting culture in the SW.

It was also gathered that the BSO had recommended amongst several other suggestions that the disbursement of approved sums should not be contracted to the serving governors or APC SW caucus as they are weary of the money not being disbursed but rather looted or at best being slashed by the greedy Yoruba politicians. It is in this vain that the committee voted that a northern member of the committee should oversee the voter buying scheme in the SW come 2019.

The problem with the South is that we overrate ourselves and underrate the North.
Open your mind, travel across Nigeria, you will realise we all suffer same fate. Shalom
