Jonathan admits that buying and selling of votes has been on since 1960

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday alleged that none of the elections held in the country since Nigeria gained independence in 1960 has ever been free and fair, explaining that what had always happened since then was that people have been “buying and selling
votes.”

The President therefore requested Nigerians, particularly the youths not to allow anybody to buy their votes during the February elections noting that the practice can not be allowed to continue.

Jonathan, who is the presidential candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), spoke at Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, while addressing a large crowd of party supporters at the Abakaliki Township Stadium in the course of his nationwide wide campaign. He promised to ensure that Ebonyi always gets its share from the federal government. ...DailyPost
