THE Labour  Party, LP, in Ondo State has accused the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in the state of planning to buy votes at the rate of N2.5m for each of the 203 wards in the state.

It also alleged that the plot code-named  Operation Capture Ondo State, was  being coordinated by a South West governor.

A statement by LP’s  Publicity Secretary, Mr. Femi Okunjemiruwa claimed that the plot was arrived at a popular hotel  owned by a chieftain of the party in Ekiti State.

He said: ‘’Operation Capture Ondo State and which is being coordinated by a South West Governor had earmarked N2.5m for each of the 203 wards in the state for the massive buying of voters’ cards from the electorate at the initial stage. The money would be increased as the need arises in the next few days as the election draws near.’’

Meantime,speaking through its  the Director of Media, Publicity and Strategy, Mr. Idowu Ajanaku, ACO has described the claims as “baseless and fallacious,” adding that the ACN would rather spend money  to provide logistics to her members for  house to house campaign.

‘’,,,Buying voters’ card is not necessary because the ACN is enjoying massive support from the people of Ondo State,” he said.
