Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and
Employment, has reacted to reports of voting-buying in the ongoing governorship
election in Ekiti State.
Keyamo said vote-buying is not synonymous with the All
Progressives Congress, APC, alone.
He lamented that the only way an election is deemed credible
is when the ruling party loses an election.
The APC is currently the ruling party in Ekiti State.
But, reports had it that an APC agent was reportedly
arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for alleged
vote-buying.
The agent was taken into custody at Ola Oluwa Grammar School
on Ilawe Road, Ado Ekiti.
Reacting, Keyamo tweeted: “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.”
