<p>The contest has 16 candidates from various political parties jostling for the governorship position.</p>
<p>However, hours into the exercise, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship, Nicholas Ukachukwu, has raised concerns over alleged vote buying and intimidation of his party’s agents.</p><div class="oYS0qybd" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>“If there’s no seller, there cannot be a buyer. Some people have chosen to sell their conscience, which is even worse than those buying votes. When you give up your right for money, you lose your voice as a citizen. You can’t cry later—society must be blamed for encouraging this,” he said after voting.</p>
<p>Similarly, Alhaji Tanko Yunusa, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, has vehemently condemned the vote buying act ongoing at the various polling units of the state.</p>
<p>Speaking with journalists on Saturday at Uruagu community in Nnewi North Local Government Area, Tanko said the group had deployed its monitoring structures across all 176,000 polling units to observe the election in real time and provide reports.</p>
<p>He also expressed worry over voter apathy, urging citizens to come out and exercise their franchise.</p>
<p>“Our agents and coordinators are already on the ground in all 21 local governments,” he said. “But unfortunately, the process has been heavily monetised, affecting both candidates and the electorate. We must find a way to sanction both those who give and those who receive money, because if no one gives, no one will take.”</p>
<p>Tanko lamented that poverty has been weaponised to influence voters, noting that the circulation of money during elections has become rampant and even visible on television and social media.</p>
<p>“People are hungry, and that’s a fact. We in the Obidient Movement will continue to expose this practice to the public,” he said.</p>
