\nwhere a particular party in connivance with security personnel went about
\ninducing electorates with cash and coercing them to snap the ballot papers

\nSecurity agents and the APC to deprive the people of Ekiti from expressing

\nthe Federal Government, INEC and Security agents will help put pressure on
\nthe government to do the right thing.<\/p>\n
