Vote-Buying: INEC Praise EFCC For Arresting Culprits in Ekiti Election by nairavsdollars(f): 10:08pm On Jun 20, 2022
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos 


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday said it will continue to work with relevant agencies in the country towards ensuring that vote-buying and inducement to voters during elections are reduced to the barest minimum.


Speaking on the incident of vote buying that was witnessed in some polling units during last weekend's governorship election in Ekiti, Rotimi Oyekanmi, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said it was heartwarming to see security agents, especially men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) apprehending some of the perpetrators.


Oyekanmi who said the proactive steps taken by the commission has greatly helped in curbing the menace howrver denied the claim that vote buying was rampant during the Ekiti election, saying it only took place in few polling units out of the entire 2,445 polling units across the state.


He said "I don’t agree with the notion that vote buying was “very rampant” during the just concluded Ekiti Governorship Election. There are 2445 polling units across the 16 local governments in the state. How many of them witnessed vote buying?"


"However, some vote buying and selling did take place. The Commission took some proactive measures against vote buying in the past, which included banning the use  cell phones or photographic equipment in the polling booths, reconfiguring the booths and changing the position of the ballot boxes".


"In addition, the Commission invited the EFCC and the ICPC to join the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES). It was heartwarming to see some EFCC and Civil Defence officers move against voter buyers during the election".


"The Commission will continue to do the needful to curb the Vice".

With Atiku and Tinubu as presidential candidates, 2023 election will witness vote buying of the highest scale. I suspect Peter Obidient too will have no choice than to join

The governor-elect too should be arrested. Only on this account would the sane Nigerians be convinced the EFCC isn't partisan.

Collect their money and vote your conscience. 2nd version of endsars where the Nigerian youths (who will also decide the next year's election) openly rejected their money gifts is coming. Watch out!

Why are you looking for job? As a graduate of computer science, I expect that you should have used your service year to develop your Tech skills in your chosen Tech field. Software Engineering, Data Analytics etc.
By now, you should be applying remotely for jobs in the US/Europe. Even people thatbdid not study Computer Science are going into Tech.

Our leaders deliberately create poverty becos of ds vote buying may God purnish dem.
Person wey never eat since morning is being tempted with 10k wat do u think.
Many want to collect PVC now because dey want to receive 10k too.
The person dat did dis to Nigeria will never go unpunished.

Until they arrest Tinubu and the governor elect for the same reason, i will not take them serious. They're the engineers and architects of vote buying and election rigging.

Sometimes I'm feel we should introduce some aspects of Sharia law. Culprits like this should be publicly flogged like 100 strokes of hot koboko on bare nyash. That will surely serve as deterrent to most others.

They shd go and arrest Tinubu, Atiku and Obi for intending vote buying, because they are the one to sponsor their agents to buy votes from people. Arresting the agents will not stop vote buying.

it's not enough to arrest, Inec should wake up to their duties. They are guidelines, rules concerning election as it relates to vote buying. let the candidates and their party involved in it be disqualified .. if this happens 2 to 3 times all parties will conduct their selg inline with the rules

In all honesty, I support vote buying as long as the voters can vote whoever they like without being monitored
