The senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Senator Adams Oshiomole, has stated that as opposed to allegations levied against the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state’s governorship election, the party did not engage in vote buying, News About Nigeria reports.
He disclosed this while speaking with journalists after casting his votes at Iyamho, Ward 10 Unit 01 in Estako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
The former governor of Edo State noted that the allegations from opposition parties that the party came with money to buy votes are laughable.
He stated that the huge turnout by citizens for the All Progressive Congress (APC) was because they wanted good governance, adding that it was the same case during the party’s campaign in the state.
He stated, “It is laughable when I hear this kind of allegation. Did you see anywhere 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.”
