ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Adebayo Adewole, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has accused the Labour Party (LP); the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC); of cheating during the last Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election.
Adewole alleged that all the political parties, including those complaining after the election, cheated through different means, especially vote-buying.
He made the claims when he appeared on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Friday.
The presidential candidate specifically accused the Labour Party of sharing dollars to the electorate in his own polling unit in Ondo State during the polls.
He said: “A victim cannot be blaming other victims. I never said nothing is wrong with the election. Everything is wrong with the election. Anyone who wants to go and challenge the election should do so because everything is wrong with the election.
“But it’s not only what happened that day that was wrong with the election. People (political parties] cheated. Many of those who are complaining now cheated in the election. In the polling unit where I voted, Labour Party cheated, PDP cheated and the APC cheated more because vote buying is cheating.
“APC used recharge cards to cheat, the Labour Party brought dollars and PDP shared money. Why will I not complain? Atiku Abubakar cheated me of my vote in Katsina and Adamawa State, he was buying votes with N200. What I’m saying is that the election is flawed. It’s not an honest process.”
