#anambradecides: Politicians Bribed Voters Openly, Says Situation Room by TheTrueSeeker: 5:56pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
The Convener of Election Situation Room, Clement Nwankwo has alleged that the Saturday Anambra Election was characterised with open votes buying as politicians openly bribed voters during the election. Speaking in Awka, the state capital, Nwankwo said the election was relatively peaceful but the most striking thing about the election is the situation of votes-buying where huge amount of money was spent by politicians to lure voters. “The most striking with the election is the huge amount of money that’s been spent by the political parties openly bribing voters at the polling units. Some spent as much as N5, 000 – N6, 000 to pay for a single vote. The election room convener, who lamented over the situation of open buying of votes saying it is really disappointing and an abuse of electoral process, however applauded the police for being responsive. “This is really unprecedented in terms of the amount of money spent buying votes of citizens and it is really disappointing to see this level of abuse of electoral process and the abuse on the limit of expenditure. “The police have been very responsive. Places where incidents have occurred, they have been prompt to react and nip some incidents in the bud. Unfortunately, the police have not been wide spread as we thought. They had promised 26,000 police personnel; I don’t think we had 26,000 police personnel on ground.’’ He also applauded the Independent national Electoral Commission (INEC) for the responses to the cases of card readers malfunction recorded. ‘’There were few cases of card readers malfunction but the response from INEC has been very good. There has been incidents of ballot box snatching but the number have been limited and I think that the fear about police over policing has been seriously minimised. Despite few cases of officials making away with ballot papers and election materials including officials turning up late, Nwankwo said the election was “relatively peaceful.” https://www.channelstv.com/2017/11/19/anambradecides-politicians-bribed-voters-openly-says-situation-room/ |

of course the election was massively boycotted. Seventy percent of the minority who voted were those who couldnt resist the lure of vote selling that's why they voted late. The boycott can only get better with time. All hail Biafra. |

lordimmaogidi: You still don't get it. Election has been flopping in southern Nigeria since 1963. The normal participation rate is around 30%. Infact, 2013 participation rate was 25% even under GEJ Now the 3 main parties got votes totalling 403,114 surpassing the 2013 figures of 373,841. This is just for the 3 main parties o Which boycott are you talking about again? 2 Likes |

shukuokukobambi:of course the 'job' of trolling and attacking Biafrans from one thread to another require some extra-sane inspirations which sane humans like us don't have. Surely it may seem a nice Job to some unhinged social misfits who have been elevated to the status of 'the responsible' by cyberspace freedom. Enjoy your career. |

Biafrannuke: You must be a slave who has to steal time from his burdensome existence to come scream ipob idiocies on nairaland at intervals. I'm in control of my time and today has been dedicated to beating your brainless heads with the mockery your empty chest beating deserve Learn to count before posting rubbish next time. 2017 figures are higher than 2013. 403,114 is higher than 373,841 though I doubt you can count that high. Your boycott was a monumental failure. Die if you have to but it won't change the facts!! |
