George Moghalu, the Labour Party (LP) candidate in the recent Anambra State governorship election held on Saturday, explained the reason for his failure to win his own polling unit.
During an interview on the Channels Television program ‘Sunday Politics’, observed by DAILY POST, Moghalu attributed his defeat at his polling station to the practice of vote-buying by his rivals.
He stated that he was unable and unwilling to spend the vast sums of money that other candidates were offering to voters, thus choosing not to participate in the act of buying votes.
He suggested that many voters in his unit gave in to the temptation of cash offers because of their economic difficulties.
Moghalu confirmed, “Yes, because I couldn’t afford how much that was being paid. I couldn’t pay, and I refused to pay, I refused to get involved.”
He continued, “So, they have too much money to buy votes, and what do you expect my people to do? They fell because a lot of them are poor.”
Moghalu specifically pointed fingers at the ruling party in Anambra, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), accusing them of being the primary organization involved in the reported vote-buying.
He disclosed that numerous party agents, some of whom had been detained for vote-buying, were seen wearing APGA identification tags.
He claimed, “Some of them are on record as having been seen purchasing votes.”
Moghalu further alleged, “There’s even a commissioner who was also caught on camera buying votes in my particular constituency.”
