The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has said the Obi/Kwankwaso movement will not provide money to party agents to induce voters during the 2027 general elections.
Obi made the declaration on Monday while responding to questions at a town hall meeting in Sokoto.
The former Anambra State governor described the practice of giving money to voters on election day as vote-buying, saying it contributes to the persistence of poverty in the country.
“We are not ready to give money to party agents to entice voters. That is vote-buying, and it is part of the reason why poverty continues to rise in the country,” Obi said.
The presidential candidate also assured that adequate security arrangements would be put in place to protect voters and ensure that votes were properly counted and recorded.
Obi attended the town hall meeting alongside his running mate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
