Man shares N1,000 notes to women ahead of Osun poll in viral video

A video circulating on social media captures a man wearing an AMBO t-shirt allegedly handing out N1,000 notes to a group of women. The footage emerged as the All Progressives Congress held a rally in Osogbo, the state capital, to support their governorship candidate. The rally featured prominent party figures, including Senator Adams Oshiomhole and Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Oshiomhole emphasized the party's commitment to peace, urging voters to cast their ballots rather than resort to violence. He stated, "We are a party of peace, which is why we are called progressive. The only ink we need is the black ink for you to put your thumbprint on, not anybody’s blood." Akpabio charged the candidate to prioritize the transformation of Osun State upon election, stressing the importance of delivering the "dividends of democracy" to the people. The distribution of cash, captured in the viral video, comes at a time of heightened political tension. The upcoming governorship election has been marked by concerns over voter inducement, intimidation, and the potential for violence. The incident adds to the scrutiny surrounding electoral practices in the region as the election approaches.
