PDP introduced 'Vote Buying' to Nigerians - Senator Ali Ndume

PDP introduced 'Vote Buying' to Nigerians - Senator Ali Ndume



Senator Ali Ndume representing Borno South has accused the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of introducing vote-buying into the Nigeria’s electoral system.  

Ndume was reacting to the allegation that the President Buhjari-led administration was using its Special Investment Programmes, including TradeMoni, to buy the electorate over. The lawmaker alleged that the party’s current presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, emerged through vote-buying.  
“First of all, during the presentation of `Next Level’ on Sunday, this allegation was categorically denied, and we said if there is such evidence, whoever is involved should be reported to the appropriate authority.
Having said that, let me note that it is the PDP, and you can quote me on this, that introduced voted buying. Even now, they are concentrating on buying votes, not on campaigning to genuinely win election. So, I don’t know where this accusation is coming from.
The PDP presidential candidate emerged by buying the votes, in dollars not even in naira. It is on record and everybody knows that even the presidential candidacy of PDP is purchased'’ he said.  

Ndume said the same could not be said of the emergence of Buhari as the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 presidential election. He said that the President did not even ask anyone to step down for him during the recent primaries of the party, let alone buy delegates over.  

“I hereby challenge any Nigerian to come out and say that Buhari even asked anyone to step down for him. He only offered himself to contest, and everybody queued behind him. So, when they allege that APC is buying votes, I just laugh. Do you know why PDP is contesting? It is because they think they can buy Nigerians, and Nigerians are not for sale. Nobody can say that President Muhammadu Buhari, either directly or indirectly, is condo

Miami will keep its beaches and parks  off-limits  from Friday, July 3, through Tuesday, July 7, while Fort Lauderdale announced a closure from July 3-5.

Here’s What a Gram of Cannabis Costs in Cities Around the World

Here’s What a Gram of Cannabis Costs in Cities Around the World The world’s most expensive gram of cannabis can be yours for $32.66 on the illicit market in Tokyo. Want something legal and cheaper? Head to Quito, Ecuador, where the same weight of plant matter can be had for $1.34—and you can possess up to 10 grams without running afoul of the law. Those are the highs and lows according to a 2018 cannabis price index released Wednesday morning by  Seedo , the German company that manufactures small-scale hydroponic  grow devices . Seedo’s team of data experts selected 120 cities around the world—in countries where the plant ranges from highly illegal to adult-use legal—and surveyed street prices, store prices (where legal), and annual consumption totals. One lesson seems fairly obvious from the data: Regulated legalization generally drives prices down for the consumer, but not always and everywhere. The least expensive cities tend to be in partially legal nations (Ecuador,
