Senator Shehu Sani has said that Nigeria democracy is based on culture of political fraud.
The senator argued that political parties primaries are neither fair nor free but are influenced by the highest bidders.
He maintained that party tickets are openly bought with money.
Sani shared these sentiments via his verified Twitter account yesterday.
He also lamented that public funds are shared to the electorates to buy their votes.
He observed that this was the legacy the present crop of politicians want to bequeath to Nigerian children.
The senator tweeted thus :”Our democracy is founded and sustained on a foundation of the culture of political fraud. Party tickets are openly bought with money and diverted public funds are directly shared to electorates for votes. This is the legacy we want to bequeath to our children.”
The Pond News understands that last year presidential and governorship primaries of the two main political parties witnessed the use of American dollars in buying delegates.
The redesign of Naira notes and attendant Naira scarcity is aimed at reducing the influence of money in this month presidential and national assembly elections.
