It's now money politics and in the istration of Mr Integrity, I laff in Lokoja.

Is Fayemi a billionaire? Where did he get those monies from?

A True reflection of what happened, what a shame

Vote buying is an act we should do away with but the question is can PDP swear that they didn't buy votes too or did votes buying starts today in Nigeria.

This shows how desperate our politicians are. It is sad that this shameful act has come to stay in our politics. I wonder how rivers state election will be like, I guess the votes will go as high as #10000. Shame

Sir, vote buying, bribery and corruption did not start today. That is why our president, who is supposedly a man of integrity was elected to fight and kill corruption including vote buying. PDP cannot swear that they too did not bribe the voters. The difference according to reports is that the PDP paid before service while the APC paid after service (with evidence of voting for the party and in collusion with the security agents). This act of vote buying should be vehemently condemned because it poses a great danger. The government in power now will not be there for ever but is setting a precedent. God bless Nigeria.

Is it Buhari that will change the mindset of the voters and politicians?

Jonathan started it in 2015 ,when he was bribing Obas,Emirs, Priests and Alfas in dollars and Naira.

They never born PDP well, even till today they do buy vote as they are Rigger In Chief.

I just hope for dis nation

I dont know why Fayemi's name is being bandied around more tha n necessary over this vote-buying issue. Do you know that Fayose initially credited civil servants with N3k each; paid Bus drivers and okada riders N1,500 and N1, 000 respectively to park their vehicles so as to shut down Ado-Ekiti the day the President visited; and then the big box of cash that flew in from a South-South governor from which people got N4k each. Fayemi's party was only sharing N4,000 to N5,000 on election day.

If you are raising this issue, point to both parties and stop crying Fayemi alone

That is the unfortunate thing with Nigerian politics, politicians & the electorate.

APC APC APC where is the CHANGE!

2015 was a bazaar. PDP practically threw dollars at ersby. APC is more prudent in vote trading. APC ensures that it pays for services unlike PDP which paid based on promise to render service.

people who cast votes decide nothing those who count the vote decide everything #josephstalin

Sad but true. Change is changeable by the unchangeable one - God.

Voting is meaningless who ever wins them be same thing apc or pdp mtcheww

No hope for d country again

It makes me laugh when you people say APC where is the change. Abeg is PDP immune to change because i don't understand them it's only APC and it's that they expect to change from corruption, bribery, owing of salary and election rigging.

But PDP should continue with above mentioned things,
when Wike rigs election they clap and shout Wike is a politician on ground but when APC out smart them they start shouting where is the change.

PDP and it's ers if you people change from evil to good way of doing things will you people die? Change is for all be it APC or PDP.

In a way Fayemi will underperform cause he will need to pay back!

Meaning there is no CHANGE rather APC is consolidating on PDP corrupt past.

Not only that pdp bought votes, they are the ones that started it.

EKITI PEOPLE shouldn’t storm Nairaland complaining of non payment of salaries when due.

They shouldn’t engage in SUICIDAL exercises as well

Seeing the comments here shows that our salvation is not even close. Punch drew up a cartoon to illustrate recent election and we are here comparing. The obvious reason for that cartoon is to see where we have gotten to irrespective of party. You guys should keep comparing, by the time you see ya self being governed by a mad man cos he posses more cash, una eyes go clear.

See all the mumus above me, instead of condemning this in all intotolity, they are here debating on who started it first and who should be justified. eeeeeeediots!!!!

that's a pure lie,both parties have representative around the polling booth and could see through individual choice cuz the ballot paper is transparent,I voted in ikere and both parties were paying 5k,to be honest with you,fayose started giving out 3k a day to election tagging it "Ekiti stipends" and still continue on election day,so therefore I don't think vote buying play too much factors in the outcome as both parties offered this money and people actually voted their choice, fayemi paid 5k in the 2014 election while pdp paid 1k and still lost to PDP(u can confirm from anyone on ground then)

Until we learn to stop buying votes,that is only when politicians will feel indebted to d electorate, thereby ensuring that they please the masses so they can b reelected
