Peter Obi Criticizes Reps for Rejecting Vote-Buying Criminalization

Former Governor Peter Obi criticizes the House of Representatives for failing to criminalize vote-buying during party primaries in Nigeria, warning that it undermines democracy. Obi describes the practice as a cancer that destroys the foundation of democracy and calls for urgent reforms to restore public trust.

The rejection of the proposal to penalize inducement of voters during primaries by lawmakers, led by Benjamin Kalu, highlights the ongoing challenges of electoral corruption in Nigeria.
