Observer decries massive vote-buying, violence in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi election

The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) on Saturday decried the widespread vote-buying and violence in the Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi governorship elections.

A member of the CDD Election Analysis Centre (CDD-EAC), Dr. Jack Johnson, who addressed journalists at a media briefing on the off-cycle elections in Abuja, said the centre deployed over 150 fact-checkers and observers in the three states.

He added that a team of data clerks, reviewers and analysts was also put in place in its situation room in Abuja.
