Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani has accused vote buyers<\/a> of using a new method ahead of the country’s presidential election on February 25th.<\/p>\n

The CBN has recently implemented a currency policy that has made naira notes scarce across the country. The development is expected to stymie the activities of vote buyers in the upcoming general elections in 2023.<\/p>\n

Senator Sani, on the other hand, claimed in a post on his verified Twitter page on Tuesday that vote buyers have switched from giving gullible electorates cash to collecting their account numbers in order to transfer funds directly because they cannot access the large sums of cash required.<\/p>\n

Sani tweeted:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vote buyers have resorted to collecting the account numbers of the electorates. <\/em>There is also sharing palliatives in return for votes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
