At unit 1, Asunmk ward in Talafia area of Ede, an APC agent claimed to have some money with him to be distributed to those who voted for the party.

Earlier, Isiaka Oyetola, candidate of the APC in the election, had denied reports that his party was involved in vote-buying.

“I don’t know anything about buying of votes; I haven’t seen anybody here buying votes,” Oyetola had said in response to a question from TheCable.

Inducement of voters was one of the challenges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) faced in Ekiti state.

The commission had vowed to tackle it in Osun, seeking the support of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
