Former Nigerian vice President and presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is engaging in vote-buying by buying permanent voters card for as low as N10.

Atiku Abubakar made this known on Wednesday through his social media handle just as the PDP held a campaign rally in Ilorin, Kwara State earlier in the day.
The presidential candidate also alleged that the ruling party has failed to fulfill the promises it made to Nigerians during the buildup to the 2015 elections.
The former vice president said;
“Today, we have listened to the failures of the APC government since 2015 till today. There is nothing they have not promised us; they promised us security, jobs and better economy, they failed.
It is time to return Nigeria to the PDP, because the best years of this country was when the PDP was governing our country from 1999 to 2015.
In terms of corruption, Nigeria is worse of today than we were in 2014. In terms of economy, we are the poorest country in the world today. In terms of insecurity, we are the most insecure than at any other time in history.
This is what the APC is doing. They are buying PVCs. They will come to you and give you N10, N20, N50 to buy your PVC. They are buying your future.”
Atiku Abubakar further warned Nigerians against selling their permanent voters card because the APC would use it against them in the long run.
The opposition PDP has consistently accused the ruling party of massive vote buying during the Governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states as well as Bye-elections in other parts of the country like Rivers and Kogi.
