EDO DECIDES: The Labour Party (LP), deputy governorship candidate, Prince Asamah Kadiri, SAN, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of vote buying.

He said the party engaged in desperate measures, said he saw first-hand, the incident being perpetuated by the APC in Auchi and other parts of the Edo North district.

Prince Kadiri who disclosed this after voting in his vote in Auchi Ward 1, Unit 6, noted that "It is sad that the APC is engaging in vote buying in my unit and the reports available to me across Auchi and the Edo North district shows that the APC is buying votes for N10,000."

Noting however, that some courageous voters were able to rebuff the APC and insisted on voting for the party of their choice, commended INEC performance in the conduct of the poll.

He said it is still too early in the day to rate the electoral body and urged it to ensure that it found a way to monitor its officials who are in the field to prevent electoral fraud
