Party agents are sharing money to voters to induce them to vote for their candidates in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, in Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State.
The agents stationed themselves about 500 metres away from polling units, from where they shared money to voters to lure them to vote for their candidates.
The amount given to a voter ranges from N3000 to N5000 depending on his personality or bargaining power.

A voter was expected to present his Permanent Voter Card (PVC) as a precondition to collecting the money.
To avoid security agencies, the team sharing the money usually disappeared after sharing to few people in a particular location only to convene in another location few minutes after.
Some of the beneficiaries said they weren’t selling their votes by collecting the money, as they had already made up their minds to vote for the candidates.
