PDP agents bribe voters N500 each In Igbore, Abeokuta

Written by Adejuwon Soyinka


Prior to the postponement of Saturday’s National Assembly election, voters who had queued up to vote at Ward 13 in Igbore area of Abeokuta, Ogun State were paid N500 each by agents of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP ostensibly to get them to vote for PDP candidates in the election.

However, things became a little tensed when news filtered in that the elections had been postponed to Monday, April 4. Faced with the dilemma of what to do with those who had already collected the N500 and those who were still on the queue waiting for their own share of the “loot”, the party agents decided to split the money.

In what appears like some sort of consolation prize, those who were yet to receive their own N500 before news of the cancellation of the elections came in were then given N200 each. They were all promised more money if they show up on Monday, April 4 for the National Assembly elections.

Announcing the postponement, Professor Attahiru Jega, INEC chairman said it was due to the failure of one of the commission’s vendors to meet up with deadline for supply of voting materials.

Jega said the supplier blamed the humanitarian crisis in Japan for the failure to import the voting materials to deadline. He said most of the voting material arrived the Lagos airport by 9a.m on Saturday and this accounted for the late arrival or outright non-availability of INEC materials at most polling units across the nation leading to the postponement of the election.
