A Socio Political group in Edo state, Save Edo has today raised alarm over APC’s plan to buy votes in the March 11th election. The group Secretary, Deacon Ehi Enojie said they have credible information that APC leadership in the state as at yesterday began plan to move old naira notes around the 192 wards of the state for vote buying. You would recall that the same old naira notes were ferried into the state in large trucks before the presidential election. Unfortunately, they couldn’t buy votes with them because of the naira cash swap policy by President Buhari. However, the reversal of the cash swap policy by the supreme court has further emboldened APC leaders, who have now moved the old naira notes to their various wards for vote buying.
We are using this opportunity to call on the security agencies to track down these monies wherever they maybe be hiding them. We also call on the Edo electorate to stand resolute and reject APC old naira notes and stay the course by voting for their preferred candidates in the forthcoming House of Assembly election. We also want to call on APC to turn a new leaf and desist from their usual habit of vote buying and allow the electorates to determine their future without any form of harassment and monetary inducement.
Signed
Deacon Ehi Enojie
Secretary, Save Edo Group
