Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused the state government of using the disbursement of N20,000 palliatives to workers and other beneficiaries as a strategy to influence voters ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

In a statement issued in Osogbo on Wednesday, the APC Campaign Council described the payments as an alleged vote-buying scheme, insisting that the exercise was politically motivated rather than a genuine welfare initiative.
