Kaduna Bye-Election: PDP Cries Out Over Vote Buying, Accuses Security Agents Of Compromising

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State has cried out over vote buying and alleged compromise by security agents in the ongoing by-election in the state.

In an interview with Channels Television on Saturday at Polling Unit 009 in Barnawa, Kaduna South Local Government Area, an agent of PDP, Yusuf Abubakar, expressed his dismay over the prevalence of vote buying in the region.

He alleged the involvement of certain security agents in facilitating and supporting the act of vote buying during the ongoing rerun and bye-elections.

“If you go around, you will see how people are trading on voters. If you go around, you will see it. It is just open, not hidden,” the PDP agent alleged.

When asked if political agents buy votes in front of security agents, Abubakar said: “Yes, even some of the security agents are being compromised. That is all I could say.”

Abubakar, however, was uncertain about whether the INEC officials were aware of the issue.
He also expressed concern that the voters might be influenced to vote instead of being given the freedom to exercise their right to vote.

He said: “I can’t say because they are there doing their exercise. I can’t say whether they are aware or not. But we as the political parties and political agents, we know. This exercise is going on.

“I am bothered because people are not willing to vote for their own choice rather than to be given money before they vote.”
