Rotary Club of Awka Municipal has called for an end to vote-buying ahead of the 2023 elections in Nigeria.
The Club made the call recently in Awka, during the installation of Rotarian Uchenna Ezeani as the second president of the club in Awka, Anambra state.
Rotarian Ezeani, speaking with the press after his installation, said he would intimate and work with other members of the club to sensitise and educate the public, particularly the electorate, on the dangers of vote-buying and selling in a democratic dispensation.
Vote buying
He said if Nigeria must be free from corruption and bad leadership, then the practices of vote buying and selling among the politicians and their political parties must end.
While appreciating his members for finding him worthy of the position, Ezeani, promised that the Rotary Club of Awka Municipal would do everything within its power to partner with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s Administration, political organizations and other Civil Society groups to ensure a credible and peaceful 2023 election in Anambra and Nigeria in general.
