The All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State yesterday exchanged verbal invectives over PDPβs allegations that the ruling party reserved recovered loot for vote-buying.
The opposition said the ruling party allegedly perfected plans to use the recovered loot from the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, to buy votes in the forthcoming polls, use security operatives to rig the elections and use officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to perpetrate electoral fraud.
But the APC denied the claim, describing it as a figment of imagination orchestrated by the enemies of progressive Nigeria.
The stateβs Director of Media and Publicity of the Atiku/Obi Presidential Campaign Council, Lere Olayinka accused the APC of plotting massive vote-buying in next Saturdayβs Presidential and National Assembly elections.
He alleged that N112.5 billion had been appropriated to buy projected 15 million votes at N7,500 per vote.
