Election day a moment that should define the future
too often turns into a market square.
Whispers behind polling booths… folded notes exchanged for a quick thumbs-up…
bags of rice delivered hours before the ballot box opens.
Votes the very foundation of democracy
are being sold to the highest bidder.
But what does the law actually say about this dangerous practice?
Who is breaking the law the buyer, the seller, or both?
And what is being done to stop politicians from turning our votes into commodities?
This is what we’re discussing in today’s episode of Nigeria Daily.
