Deji Adeleke, a businessman and the father of afrobeats singer, Davido, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress, APC, spent around N60 billion on vote-buying during the Osun State governorship election.
Adeleke also claimed that the APC used N50,000 to buy votes in some areas during the governorship election.
Speaking in Osogbo, the state capital, the businessman revealed that his prayers helped Governor Ademola Adeleke to win the election.
He disclosed that he prayed that voters would take APC’s money but vote for his brother.
Last Saturday, Governor Adeleke won the governorship election after polling 511,067 votes to defeat APC’s Bola Oyebamiji who had 444, 815 votes.
However, Deji Adeleke said: “On the day of the election, when I heard about the kind of money they were spending, I went back to my little corner in my room and I knelt down and I prayed to God Almighty.
“I said, ‘God Almighty, let people collect their money but still vote for Ademola Adeleke.
“They spent N60 billion as we heard. Some places they bought votes for as high as 50,000, for one single vote.”
