INEC has revealed that politicians now bypass security by
inserting money into bread to buy votes.
Mr Mahmood Yakubu, the Chairman of the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, stated that the umpire does not buy or sell votes
during elections.
He, however, disclosed that he was at the ongoing public
hearing organised by the National Assembly to hear from those who buy and sell
votes to know how it's being done.
Present at the hearing were President of the Senate, Bukola
Saraki; Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; other leaders and
members of the National Assembly, political parties, security agencies and
more.
Following the hearing, Yakubu revealed that it was
discovered that one of the ways through which politicians beat security to buy
votes during elections is to insert Naira notes in sandwiches while pretending
that they are feeding voters.
He said:
We talk too much as a nation. We should stop talking and do
more for our country.
