Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has said that money politics is endangering Nigeria’s democracy ahead of the forthcoming general elections in 2023.

According to Yakubu, money politics is becoming more prevalent and that if care is not properly taken, Nigeria’s democracy is on the verge of becoming a plutocracy for the wealthy rather than a democracy for the people.

Speaking at the event, Yakubu said, “My third area of concern is the influence of money on politics and is becoming more present and the risk is that ours may soon become a plutocracy for the rich rather than a democracy for the people.

“However, there are two dimensions to it, when you’ve willing connectors it becomes a bit more difficult to contain the situation.

“On the one hand, you’ve brilliant examples, we all saw this on the social media in Anambra when there was an attempt to bribe voters and the women refused to accept the money and voted their conscience.”
