LECTURE TIME: Vote-Buying has robbed the country of credible elections, credible candidates

 Assalamualaikum

Good evening all the distinguish Patriots members of this movement,

I pray unto God almighty that we will never lack development in all our various means of growth.


I stand as first lecturer today, and our aspirant also.

What’s vote buying?


Vote buying (also called vote trading or money-for-vote syndrome) is an act of inducing a voter to vote for a particular person or party. It can be in form of monetary or material form, but aimed at influencing a voter.

The second approach is the pre-paid method of vote buying,  the vote buyers demand evidence of ownership of a voter’s card and assurance that the voter will vote for their party before offering the money. In this approach, trust is key to the contract.


       Cause




Vote-buying is becoming a norm also because the government has so impoverished the society that people can do anything in order to get resources to get by, and that includes selling their conscience.

Even though there are extant laws against the menace, the willpower to execute the same by prosecuting offenders is lacking.


Could vote buying be regarded as crime?


The laws are clear on the criminal implications and consequences of electoral fraud, including votes buying .


The issue of vote-buying is clear in Section 12 of the Electoral Act, which stipulates that anyone who influences a voter with money directly, or through any other person shall be convicted for six months, and or N100, 000 fine, it increases the amounts that politicians spend to get into office. The money either comes from public purse or private pockets. Either way, the people will pay dearly for it .

Vote buying weakens citizens’ capacity to hold their ‘elected officials’ accountable for their actions. There are possibilities that such candidates and sponsors will show a disregard for democratic rules and a disposition to adopt illegal means becomes inevitabl

4)Vote-buying is a great drawback to the country’s democratic process, It has robbed the country of credible elections, Where credible candidates do not have money, the bad ones who acquire resources through evil means will continue to rob the nation of good leaders, good governance, and national development. The failure to sanction those who indulge in this open bribery will only give rise to the normalisation of this abnormality.


****How to Curb Vote Buying

1) The first stage to curbing vote-buying is to criminalise it as a serious electoral offense exactly as ballot box snatching,

2) A wholesome reform of the electoral process is inevitable. INEC and the EFCC should develop a strategic collaborative framework for effective monitoring of political parties’ campaign funds in order to effectively curb electoral fraud, including vote buying,

3)Security agencies can do a lot to reduce the menace to the barest minimum, only if they will do what is expected of them. By arresting and prosecuting offenders.

4) One of the best ways for the government to reduce, or prevent vote-buying is to reduce the high level of hunger in our society, by creating employment opportunities,

5) We should see vote-buying as a national emergency which requires the involvement of traditional and religious institutions,

6) Government can adopt an institutional advocacy learning process through which the voting public is continuously flooded with electoral education content to enhance their understanding of anticipated behaviours and roles in democratic systems,

7) We also need the involvement of civil society groups and the media to enlighten the citizens about the adverse implications of vote-buying on the future of the nation,


Comply with the Electoral Act. The Act is very clear about offering money for votes of electors. These laws must be enforced in every election cycle.

Every Nigerian, who is qualified to vote and be voted for, should have the interest of Nigeria at heart (patriotism).


8) Deployment of technology and minimising human interference in our electoral administration. Installation of surveillance cameras at the polling units, they would have recorded all the crookery that transpired during the exercise. 


Overall, the best way to stop this problem is good governance.



Meanwhile, During the convention to elect the party’s presidential standard-bearer for the February 25, 2023, presidential poll, delegates spoke of how they received various amounts of money in foreign currencies from some contenders.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), 749,065 Personal Voter Cards (PVCs) were issued for the Ekiti State election, out of which 360,753 were used by voters. Cash projection and provision to buy the majority of these registered voters, at either N5000 or N10,000 per vote, would translate to billions of naira. This is not democracy by any metrics.
