The footage shows the woman handing packets of salt and ₦1000 notes to people gathered outdoors as political parties make their final push before the August 15 poll.
An All Progressives Congress (APC) women leader has been seen allegedly distributing packets of salt and ₦1000 cash to residents in Osun State, two days before the state’s governorship election.
The distribution was captured in a video that surfaced online on Thursday. The footage shows the woman handing packets of salt and ₦1000 notes to people gathered outdoors as political parties make their final push before the August 15 poll.
The timing of the distribution has raised concerns about possible voter inducement, coming just two days before the election. However, the footage alone does not establish that the cash and salt were distributed in exchange for votes or that the woman was acting on behalf of the party for that purpose.
