Vote buying is rampant in the ongoing Osun governorship election, Accord Party candidate in the election, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, has alleged.
He said some political parties were inducing voters with the sum of N3,000 and N4,000 under the watch of security personnel.
The candidate said malpractices took place in various parts of the state, especially in Ayedire, Ile-Ogbo and Osogbo environs.
Mr Ogunbiyi made the allegations shortly after he cast his vote with his wife at Ile-Ogbo Ward 1, Unit 1, Methodist Primary School.
He said he was dissatisfied with the voting pattern, especially at Ward 1, Unit 1 in Aiyedire.
Ogunbiyi said: “When I got to Ward 1 Unit 5, I observed that there was vote buying with some people being offered N3,000 and N4,000 by different political parties.
“I am not buying vote. I am a candidate of Accord and even, if l have the money to buy votes, I will not do such, because it is the selfless service we promised this people.
“I witnessed it , there was vote buying in Osogbo, there was vote buying in Ile-Ogbo. Let the whole world know what is happening,” Ogunbiyi said.
