The Yiaga Africa has alleged that the ongoing off-cycle governorship election in Edo State witnessed pockets of vote buying as the organisation’s Process and Results Verification for Transparency (PRVT) methodology and watching the vote (WTV) reveals sharing of N10,000 to voters.
This is contained in the mid-day election statement on the 2024 Edo State Governorship Election presented on Friday by Dr. Aisha Abdullahi and Samson Itodo, Chair of the 2024 Edo Election Mission and Executive Director, of Yiaga Africa respectively as well as other board members including Prof. Nnamdi Aduba, Ezenwa Nwagwu, Cynthia Mbamalu and Dr. Asmau Maikudi.
