This development raises concerns about the integrity of the election, which saw incumbent governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) running against 16 other candidates, including Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Aiyedatiwa is leading the way in the election, having won in all 15 local government areas where results have been announced so far.
“We have voted; the voting process went on peacefully. There were no problems, there were no fights. We have voted and we have been paid; all of us," the woman said.
However, others seated beside her quickly cautioned her against openly admitting to selling her vote.
“Don’t say that,” one of them said.
