Party agents of two popular political parties stormed the Anglican Primary School in the Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State with cash.
One female agent was seen showing her cash to voters, urging them to check their names on the register quickly.
Our correspondent, who is on the ground, saw the female agent showing the cash to the voters to assert her seriousness for the suspected vote-buying exercise.
Another party agent brought in money in a Ghana-must-go bag with a minivan, and she was seen drawing up a list.
Some party agents approached her and were seen discussing.
A resident told our correspondent that the lady who brought cash in the minivan is a known party (name of party withheld) agent in the area.
When asked why she risked coming out to vote in her late stage of pregnancy, a resident replied, “dibo ko sebe”, meaning, “vote and cook a pot of soup” referring to the money that she intends to get from agents.
