A Twitter user had earlier mentioned how 14 APC governors had set out to Osun state with money bags to incite voters.
So Oshiomhole and 13 @APCNigeria Governors are presently in Osogbo with cash stockpiled in bags to indues electorates.
When you have nothing to show for the mandate given to you, electoral malpractices takes the centers stage.#OsunDecides2018

A look at APC Nigeria’s Twitter timeline shows that they are not bothered about the news spreading as they still maintained a “no to buying of votes”.

Also, the issue of voters’ card not detected is still persistent in the wards as some registered voters might not be able to vote.
