Former Edo State Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomole, has denied  the accusation that his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed funds to purchase votes in the ongoing state’s gubernatorial election.

GistReel reports that Oshiomole is currently serving as the senator for Edo North at the National Assembly.

In a statement on Saturday right after voting at Iyamho, Ward 10 Unit 01 in Estako West Local Government Area during the ongoing gubernatorial election in the state, Oshiomhole said it was a laughable allegation.

According to him, he has not received any report of violence from anywhere across the state, as the election was ongoing.

He said, “It is laughable when I hear this kind of allegation. You have been here, did you see anywhere where they are sharing money?

“People turned out in large numbers to vote for us because they wanted good government. During our campaign, people came out to see me not because I wanted to give them something but because of what I have done for them while I was in the office as the governor.

“All structures that I have put in place 12, 13 years ago are still there but the ones put up by the present administration, in one year, they are washed off. So our people have seen the difference.

“Some people do tell me that since I left the government, they haven’t seen the real presence of government in their communities.”
