The Oyo State Labour Party Vice Chairman Alhaji Lateef A. Adegoke has described vote-buying in the Nigerian politics during election as an agelong abnormality which was not that pronounced then, especially with associated act of cross-carpeting, but which is now more prominent, as a result of some "money bags",who have corruptly enriched themselves and want to be in government by all means, so they see the act of vote buying as the easiest way to buy the conscience of the downtrodden and poor people, especially in this period of economic hardship.
 This he condemned as an unhealthy act, for the good of democracy and a conducive atmosphere to have free and fair election and thus could also bring the future of the country and of her citizenry to jeopardy, since vote-buying could be a means giving the questionable characters believing in the call to serve as an investment from which they would want to maximize their profit, to the detriment of the citizenry and availability of good governance.
 He therefore advised Independent National Electoral Commission to be impartial in the coming election of 2019 to all parties and make sure the election is free and fair, for the best party with the right candidates for different elective positions to be voted in, to aid the emergence of a good but civilian regime, that would be able to direct the affairs of the nation well, for the next four years.
 Nevertheless,  he enjoined the electorates to make sure they vote their conscience and vote the right candidates, while they make sure they are not influenced by money , in order not to extend their years of suffering and hardship under any bad governance again, for another four years.
