‘The Poor Will Sell Their Votes’- NOA, CSOs Urge INEC, Parties To Sensitize Voters

As the 2023 general elections draw closer, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), political parties, the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the media, have been urged to increase the level of sensitization against vote buying and selling.

Vote buying is a major concern ahead of the 2023 general elections. It would be recalled that INEC recently alleged that some politicians are buying PVCs from poor Nigerians across the country. The allegation was corroborated by the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), which recently stated that some politicians are buying PVCs with as low as N2,000 in the northern part of the country.
