Former governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has denied allegations of vote-buying by his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), reportedly marring the ongoing Edo governorship election.
The senator representing Edo North at the National Assembly disclosed this while speaking with journalists after casting his votes at Iyamho, Ward 10 Unit 01 in Estako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
He said it’s laughable for the opposition parties to make such spurious allegation.
His words: “It is laughable when I hear this kind of allegation. Did you see anywhere they are sharing money?
“People turned out in large numbers to vote for us because they wanted good government. During our campaign, people came out to see me not because I wanted to give them something but because of what I have done for them while I was in the office as the governor.
“All structures that I have put in place 12, 13 years ago are still there but the ones put up by the present administration, in one year, they are washed off.
“So our people have seen the difference. Some people do tell me that since I left the government, they haven’t seen the real presence of government in their communities.”
