Senator Olalere Oyewumni Allegedly Confesses to Vote Buying in Viral Video.

Olalere Oyewumni, the head of the Senate minority, is said to have acknowledged purchasing votes in the 2023 election. Olalere allegedly confessed in a video that is currently viral online.

The federal lawmaker from Osun remarked, "I tried all the tricks I knew to win at Onilu House (Ile Onilu) polling unit, but these people didn't allow me," as she welcomed PDP defectors. According to reports, he stated:

“After exhausting money for the election, I gave my personal money to Ten-Ten to give to people at night to buy votes on the eve of the election, Ten-Ten came back with my money, saying the people rejected it. I was surprised.

“That was why I reached out to these people because I cannot be a Senator and continue to fail there. I was the one who called Ayandosu from Abuja to join me in the PDP. I told him he has talent and that the party he was serving then (APC) would not allow him to grow.”
