Abbas Mimiko, the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) candidate in the ongoing Ondo State governorship election, has urged voters to resist the temptation to sell their votes.

Mimiko made the appeal on Saturday while speaking with journalists at his polling unit as he awaited accreditation.

He commended the security personnel for their efforts in maintaining order at the polling stations and called on all stakeholders to ensure that the election process remains free, fair, and credible.

He said, “There’s no good governance in Ondo. Besides that, there seems to be peace from the reports reaching us. The law enforcement agencies seem to be living up to their billing.

“INEC seems to be carrying out their own duties fairly and justly. I had no doubt in my mind that the president will instruct the right things to be done. They won’t be partial.

“So it’s left for us, the citizens of Ondo state, to decide not to go the ‘see and buy way’ that is happening all over the place.

“Don’t sell your future for N20,000… the future of your children.

“Go and vote for a candidate of your choice that will take you out of this poverty to a place of pride.”
