Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has disputed Afrobeats singer Davido's claim about the Accord Party's spending during the Osun State governorship election held on August 15. According to Fayose, the Accord Party spent at least N40 billion during the election, dismissing Davido's assertion that the All Progressives Congress, APC, spent N110 billion on vote-buying.
Davido also claimed that the Accord Party didn't spend any money during the election, instead relying on the goodwill of Osun State's people. However, Fayose countered these claims, stating that both leading parties spent heavily and dismissing the notion that either side won solely through prayers or popular support. He further revealed that over N7.5 billion was distributed to local governments and wards just before the election, with each ward receiving a minimum of N35 million.
