Vote Buying: We’ll Seal Govt Accounts Early January – NFIU by ijustdey: 7:03am On Dec 20, 2022
In a bid to curb vote buying in next year’s general election, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has said all government accounts would be sealed up early January, leaving only money enough for payment of workers’ salaries and for day-to-day running of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).

Also, the Nigeria police said concerted efforts were being made by its personnel to ensure that the use of money is not allowed to influence the 2023 general elections or at least ensure that this menace is brought to the barest minimum.

Heads of anti-corruption agencies, at a one-day stakeholders’ summit in Abuja on Monday, decried the effects of vote buying on the nation’s elections.

The summit, which was organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in conjunction with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Advertising Practitioners Regulations Council of Nigeria (APRCON), was to address the influence of money on the 2023 general election.

Director General of the NFIU Modibbo Turkur, said that most people who engage in vote buying do so because of free funds at their disposal.

Our electoral and democratic journey must be improved upon and made better with emerging reforms.

The NASS should simply legislate vote buying and ballot box snatching a criminal offence liable by death because national elections are solemn responsibility of every citizen. Do they have the guts? Nope! But I pray they will.

However, does this means that running of the states will be stopped? Meanwhile, such an Intel if really can be implemented should not be for public consumption.

And announcing this plans and making govt aware, isn't that counter productive.

As far as I'm aware, all the irregularities that are possible and even new ones will be done this election, it's only Nigerians that'll determine if they'd be bought or not.

Lol!

I hope DSS won’t go after this one now and claim he is Bandits and IPOB sponsor?

“Nobody will be allowed to mobilize resources and thugs to subvert the will of the people.”

Tinubu urchins thought Buhari was joking when he said that…

Shebi Emilokan claims he’s popular, let him go to the election on an even ground and let’s see how many votes he will get out of sincere support for him and conviction in his capacity.

The next thing Buhari will do will be to introduce an antidote for thuggery. Just wait, you go see am.

You mean, crippled the Economy?

It's not the duty of NFIU to either appropriate, disburse or withhold government funds, it's not in their Enabling Act.

Suspension of budget is a vote of no confidence in the Government

They can advise and event ensure all funds are used for the purpose.

Fake News.
