THE governorship election is ongoing, and there are attempts by party agents to influence voters’ decisions.

At polling booths in Edo and Cross River states, party agents of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been preventing cash rewards and food to voters.

An instance of this was found at ward 9,  Ikot Eneobong Town Hall, Calabar municipality, a polling unit in Cross River State.

Here, it was observed that if a voter had voted for a candidate, a party agent would signal to his colleagues to indicate this, and then direct the voter to where a sum of N4,000 in old N200 notes was given to the voter.

Likewise, in Edo State, party agents are operating undisturbed as the security officials deployed there are absent.

For instance, in polling unit 4, Igueben LGA, party agents are distributing food to voters who voted for their candidates and are being made to write down their names for potential rewards.
