OSOGBO — The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the August 15 election in Osun State, Mr Salawu Mustapha, has accused Governor Ademola Adeleke and the Accord Party of involvement in alleged vote-buying ahead of the poll.

Mustapha, in a statement he personally signed and made available to Vanguard Online, alleged that agents of the Accord Party working for the governor were offering voters N10,000 under oath in exchange for their votes.

He condemned the alleged practice, saying popular candidates do not need to resort to vote-buying to win elections.

The SDP candidate also raised concerns over what he described as sudden and unbudgeted financial disbursements by the state government days before the election.
