The spokesperson of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has accused Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, of voter inducement forward of the November 8 governorship election.
In response to the ADC spokesperson, Soludo has resorted to cash-for-votes as a result of he has misplaced public confidence.
In a publish on X (previously Twitter) on Sunday, Abdullahi claimed that the governor’s actions violated the Electoral Act, describing them as proof of desperation.
“Forward of the November eighth election, Soludo has clearly misplaced the boldness of the folks of Anambra, and it exhibits,” Abdullahi wrote.
“Solely a sitting governor who has run out of public goodwill would so brazenly resort to money for votes, in direct violation of Sections 121 and 127 of the Electoral Act, which criminalise voter inducement of any type. This can be a new degree of desperation, wrapped in impunity, and I hope that INEC is just not pretending to not see it.”
Recall that the ADC governorship candidate, John Nwosu, just lately criticised Governor Soludo over reviews of donations from people, teams, and native governments towards his re-election marketing campaign.
Nwosu argued that such donations raised moral and authorized issues.
“I’m conscious of reviews that some teams and cities have made humongous donations to the candidate of APGA in purported assist of his marketing campaign,” Nwosu mentioned.
“Such donations increase actual issues about compliance with the Electoral Act, morality, and the rule of regulation.”
He added that it was “worrisome” if financially constrained native governments had been donating public funds to the governor’s marketing campaign.
“If cash-strapped native governments are donating tens of millions to the governor’s marketing campaign, that may be a charade and a blatant show of official dishonesty,” he added.
Soludo is looking for re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
