Voters in Ejigbo have alleged that suspected APC supporters distributed cash at two polling units during the Osun governorship election, with some accused persons reportedly fleeing with money in polythene bags. The allegations had not been independently verified.
Voters at polling units in Ejigbo Local Government Area of Osun State have alleged that suspected supporters of the All Progressives Congress were distributing cash during Saturday’s governorship election.
