The ongoing presidential election in Nigeria has been marred by yet another scandal, as a video has emerged showing people openly selling their votes for as little as 2,000 – 3,000 Naira.

In the video, which has gone viral on social media, a group of individuals can be seen accepting wads of new Naira notes in exchange for their votes. The footage has sparked outrage among Nigerians, many of whom have called for swift action to be taken against those involved in vote buying.

Vote buying is illegal in Nigeria and is considered a serious threat to the integrity of the election process. It undermines the democratic principle of free and fair elections, and denies citizens the right to choose their leaders based on merit and policy.

The emergence of this video has raised concerns about the prevalence of vote buying in the ongoing presidential election, and the need for greater efforts to combat this practice. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant authorities must take immediate action to investigate and prosecute those involved in vote buying, and to ensure that the election is conducted in a free and fair manner.

As Nigerians continue to exercise their democratic right to vote in the ongoing presidential election, it is important that they do so without fear or coercion. The practice of vote buying must be eradicated from Nigerian politics, and the integrity of the election process must be upheld.
