Federal Government has reacted to reports of voting-buying in the ongoing governorship election in Ekiti State.
Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, who spoke on behalf of the Federal Government said vote-buying is not synonymous with the All Progressives Congress, APC, alone.
He lamented that the only way an election is deemed credible is when the ruling party loses an election.
