Anambra Poll: AAC Candidate Laments Alleged Voter Suppression

The African Action Congress (AAC) candidate, Chioma Ifemeludike, has accused political parties of widespread vote-buying in the 2025 Anambra election, according to Channels News.

She condemned vote-buying as a destructive practice that criminalises both voters and politicians, calling for strict enforcement and arrests.

“I just got a report from my polling unit searchlight that vote buying is heavily happening across polling units in the Anambra state Governorship elections. I call on security agencies and INEC to get these party agents to pay voters ₦5,000 for their conscience. This very act is destroying our society, and it is totally unacceptable!

“Voters selling their votes for as little as ₦5,000, and whoever is buying should be sentenced to life imprisonment. This act criminalises both the electorate and politicians, it obstructs accountability in governance and demonises leaders in power.

“This is criminal, totally absurd. If APGA claims to have all the popularity, why then are they buying votes? Criminalising and polluting the polity, wasting our resources rather than channelling them to environmental and human development.
