Senior lawyer and the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, festus Keyamo has lent his voice on the current allegation of vote buying levied against the ruling APC at the ongoing guber elections in Ekiti state.
In his reactions, Keyamo said vote-buying is not synonymous with the All Progressives Congress, (APC), alone, insinuating that it’s a widespread practice.
He lamented that the only way an election is deemed credible in the country is when the ruling party loses an election.
It was gathered that an APC agent was reportedly arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for alleged vote-buying in Ekiti state.
The agent was taken into custody at Ola Oluwa Grammar School on Ilawe Road, Ado Ekiti.
Reacting via his twitter page Keyamo said : “Incidences of vote-buying can’t be synonymous only with the ruling party, but the subtle message the other parties try to pass to the gullible is that only the ruling party engages in illegalities & that the only way an election can be deemed credible is if the ruling party loses.”
