The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has drawn the attention of the Nigeria Police and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to claims that an agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is distributing money to voters.
According to the PDP Situation Room, the APC agent is allegedly offering financial inducements to voters to secure support for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the ongoing Ondo State governorship election.
The alleged distribution of money reportedly occurred at Unit 5, Ward 8, Iwaro Oka, in Akoko South West Local Government Area.
The PDP has also urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take action by arresting the accused APC agent.
“Happening now, APC agents caught inducing voters by distributing money and other items in Ward 8, Unite 5, Iwaro oka, Akoko South West Local Government Area. Police, EFCC and other security agents, please take note,” it read.
According to reports, PDP earlier called the attention of INEC to the malfunctioning of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), an electronic device designed to read Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and authenticate voters, deployed in the state.
Particularly, the party said BVAS deployed at Unit 4. Ward 7, at Akoko West local government area, was faulty and hampering the election process in the unit.
“Election is yet to commence in unit 04 ward 7, AKOKO West due to faulty Bivas machine. INEC, please intervene,” it said.
