Senate Minority Leader Olalere Oyewumni has allegedly admitted to engaging in vote buying during the 2023 election.
Olalere reportedly made the confession in a video trending online. The Osun federal lawmaker, while receiving defectors into the PDP, said, “I tried all the tricks I knew to win at Onilu House (Ile Onilu) polling unit, but these people didn’t allow me.” He reportedly continued:
“After exhausting money for the election, I gave my personal money to Ten-Ten to give to people at night to buy votes on the eve of the election. Ten-Ten came back with my money, saying the people rejected it. I was surprised.
“That was why I reached out to these people because I cannot be a Senator and continue to fail there. I was the one who called Ayandosu from Abuja to join me in the PDP. I told him he has talent and that the party he was serving then (APC) would not allow him to grow.”
