The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says it has found more ways that politicians have planned to buy votes in the next elections.
Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday, the chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, claimed that information at their disposal indicated that some politicians intended to purchase votes not with money but rather with kind.
This is in response to the widespread shortage of new naira notes that Nigerians are currently experiencing.
Bawa advised the electorate to cooperate with the EFCC in its efforts in tackling vote-buying during the Saturday’s polls.
Bawa said that Nigerians should get it right this time by voting into power people with integrity and ethical standards.
“We have intel that a lot of people have bought some items that they want [to use] to buy votes in kind, not in cash. Some of these things are out there,” he stated.
“Politicians are also Nigerians. We too have a way of doing our own things. We have our own experiences in this as well.”
