Isaac Fayose, an influencer and younger brother to the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is plotting to buy votes during Saturday’s gubernatorial election in the state.
He levelled the allegation on Thursday in a now-trending video shared on his official Facebook page.
According to the social media personality, credible information has revealed that the ruling party in the South-West state has concluded plans to induce voters with money.
He urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to be on alert to apprehend those planning such acts during the poll.

He further noted that Nigeria remains underdeveloped because unpopular candidates rig their way into power at the expense of the electorate’s choice.
Speaking via his verified handle, Fayose said, “Nigeria is not developing because our electoral system is faulty. Popular people don’t get into power, but unpopular people do because they are rigged in.
“If our votes can’t put the best candidates there, it means we are in a mess. We will see on Saturday whether the EFCC is effective or not.
“If the EFCC is on the ground, they should be able to apprehend many vote-buyers because the APC is planning to buy votes. EFCC, Nigerians are watching; you now have an office in Ekiti State.
“We have credible information that these people are planning to buy votes.”
