#EdoDecides: Oshiomhole dismisses allegation of vote-buying against APC

Adams Oshiomhole, the senator representing the Edo North Senatorial District of Edo State, has dismissed allegations of vote-buying levelled against the All Progressives Congress in the ongoing election.

The former governor of the state described the ongoing election as free and fair, stressing that he had not received any report of violence from anywhere across the state.

Shortly after casting his vote at Iyamho, Ward 10 Unit 01 in Estako West Local Government Area of the state, the APC chieftain told journalists, “It is laughable when I hear this kind of allegation. You have been did you see anywhere where they are sharing money? People turned out in large numbers to vote for us because they wanted good government. During our campaign, people came out to see me not because I wanted to give them something but because of what I have done for them while I was in the office as the governor.

“All structures that I have put in place 12, 13 years ago are still there but the ones put up by the present administration, in one year, they are washed off. So our people have seen the difference. Some people do tell me that since I left the government, they haven’t seen the real presence of government in their communities.”
