The statement highlighted that despite the prohibited nature of vote trading according to sections 121 and 127 of the Electoral Act 2022, desperate politicians resorted to inducing voters with cash gifts ranging from N5,000 to N30,000, as well as distributing food items and clothing materials (wrappers) in certain observed polling units.
Commending the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the TMG chairman praised the timely arrival of election materials across the states, as well as the effective deployment and functionality of the Biometric Verification and Authentication System (BVAS) in polling units across the three states. Additionally, he acknowledged the high level of professionalism exhibited by security officials during the electoral process.
