Respondents
In the build-up to the 2015 elections, there have been various reports of politicians going about inducing voters with money and gifts to gain votes. Saturday PUNCH went out to ask some Nigerians what they would do if any candidate approached them with money in order to gain their votes
The money would be for my upkeep
Mrs. Olayinka Bakare, unemployed
I have a PVC but I am not ready to go out and vote on election day. The only thing that would make me leave my house on election day is if I am promised a job and if there is assurance that it is not just another promise that would go unfulfilled. I have been jobless since last year and things have really been hard for me. I started a business last year when I lost my job. I was selling meat but the business also folded up later. Now, I don’t even know what to do. Voting is the last thing on my mind. So, if anybody gives me money to vote for him, that money would be for my upkeep, not voting.
