Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in today’s governorship election in Ondo State, Alfred Agboola Ajayi has declared that the electoral process has been compromised.
He berated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for being unable to conduct an election well in just one state, citing failure of BVAS and massive vote-buying by the APC, which have Gone unchecked.
He noted, however, that he is confident of victory, calling on Ondo State residents to come out to exercise their franchise without fear.
Ajayi stated this shortly after voting Apoi Ward 11, Unit 004 at RCM Idumado Quarters Kiribo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of the state.
He said: “The system has been compromised. It’s sad INEC can’t conduct election well in one state. The BVAS aren’t working, it took about 10 minutes to capture me. I think it is deliberate on the part of INEC and the REC, Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola and we’ve said this several times that the woman can’t be fair.
“I have had series of complaints from across the state, people are complaining of vote-buying. It is a very shameful exercise.
“But our people must be resolute; come out and vote. We must not give in to the shenanigans of the APC and INEC. We will surely overcome.”
