Vote Buying: PDP Warns Abiodun, APC For Making Frantic Efforts at Stalling Investigations

….Urges Nigeria Police on Professionalism.

The Ogun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is aware of all the plots of putting enormous pressure on the Nigeria Police Force by the ruling APC and its Governor in Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun with the aim of frustrating the ongoing investigation of massive vote buying perpetrated by APC across the State during the last Gubernatorial election in March 18, 2023 with preloaded Airtel Vouchers.

The PDP has it on good authority that the unprecedented vote buying was coordinated by a famous Ijebu businessman with direct funding from the coffers of Ogun State government. This is an unacceptable development that should not be held with kids gloves because it is a great disservice to the good people of Ogun State and fraudulent usage of tax payers money.

Therefore, it is sad to note that the APC and the Governor are currently mounting pressure on Nigeria Police to stall investigation into how public finances were deployed to aiding and servicing Mr. Dapo Abiodun’s personal political agenda at the detriment of the good people of Ogun State who have suffered all manners of unpardonable irresponsibility of Dapo Abiodun’s government. Such act is an insult on the collective intelligence of the good people of Ogun State.

As a responsible political organization, our great party is prepared to render utmost assistance to the police with the view to bringing all perpetrators of electoral violence, criminal falsification of results sheet, voters’ inducement and several other electoral infractions are expeditiously brought to book in line with our laws.

For us as a democratic organization, it is our fervent believe that anyone whose personal ambition undermines or compromises the integrity of our electoral process is not allowed to desecrate the sanctity of our hard earned democracy.

We therefore, urge the Nigeria Police to continue in its resolve to be aboveboard in the discharge of its statutory roles with deep sense of professionalism. Every kobo spent on Abiodun’s personal ambition from the State’s purse must be recovered.

We also appeal to the good people of Ogun State to remain calm as the people’s mandate stolen will soon be recovered.
