Abdulsalami Urges Politicians To End Vote-Buying Practices

Former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has called on politicians to put an end to the widespread practice of vote-buying during elections. Speaking at a public event, Abdulsalami emphasized that vote-buying undermines the integrity of the electoral process and compromises the democratic values of the country.

The former leader urged politicians to adopt transparent and ethical methods to engage with voters, warning that such corrupt practices could erode public trust in the electoral system and weaken the foundations of democracy. He also called for stronger measures to ensure accountability and protect the electoral process from manipulation.

Abdulsalami’s statement comes amid increasing concerns over the influence of money in Nigerian politics, with many advocating for reforms to curb vote-buying and promote fairer, more credible elections.
