Former Edo Governor Adams Oshiomhole has dismissed allegations of vote-buying against the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the ongoing governorship election in the state.
Oshiomhole made the remarks while speaking to reporters shortly after casting his vote at Iyamoh, Ward 10 Unit 01, in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo.
“It is laughable when I hear these kinds of allegations. You all have been monitoring the process; have you seen anyone sharing money?” He stated.

He emphasized that the large turnout of voters was due to their desire for good governance, asserting, “During our campaign, people came out to see me not because I wanted to give them something, but because of what I accomplished during my time as governor.”
The former governor, who currently serves as the senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, noted that he had not received any reports of violence across the state. He expressed satisfaction with the peaceful conduct of the election and commended the elderly citizens for their participation.
“I am very enthusiastic to see the elderly coming out to vote in this election. This shows their commitment to ensuring a better future for their children,” he added.
