The Imo State governorship candidate of the Accord Party, AP, Ikedi Ohakim, yesterday said that he would not pay money to anybody to vote for him during the election.
Ohakim disclosed this to newsmen in Owerri, through his Chief Press Secretary, Collins Ughallaa.
Ohakim said that those who sold their votes last fours years are now crying, adding that there is “too much hunger in the land” and that the people should not allow themeslves to be deceived by collecting money and voting against their conscience.
Ohakim said: “Have you asked yourself why they still give you money for your votes if they were just going to write the results? They do that because truly your votes count but you are the one to decide if it counts for good or whether you would keep yourself in bondage of bad leadership.
“Many people are getting billions ready to buy your votes. They would tell you that your vote doesn’t count, so just collect the money and vote their people. Why are they concerned that you vote for them if your vote doesn’t count ?
“The decision to enjoy good governance is yours to make. Ikedi Ohakim is not ready to pay anybody to vote for him, but I urge you to collect their money and make the right choice.”
