A video making the rounds on social media has sparked widespread reactions after a woman was seen displaying cash while expressing support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following the Ekiti State governorship election.

In the viral clip, the lady claimed she received ₦15,000 in exchange for her vote and openly celebrated the alleged payment while showing the cash on camera.

@AfrikanBanter
“There is a certain level of stupidity among certain Nigerians that deserves to be studied. It is its own special breed. Yet, we continue to delude ourselves that our leaders are the main problem. We are our leaders, our leaders are us. Tueh!”

@NasRule1
“No worry in a few months time u will feel it. I just can’t comprehend how someone will sell her vote just for 15k 😡 the annoying part is that people like her complain the govt is not doing anything 🤷🏽‍♀️ anybody that offers u money for ur vote don’t have good intentions for u.”

@DaRealest9ja
“Q. Why don’t politicians put a penalty to vote buying? A. It is one of rhe mechanisms that got them into office.”

" APC for life. 15,000 Naira per vote, don't whine me. "
