MY EXPERIENCE AS INEC AD-HOC STAFF IN ENUGU NORTH LGA

I'm currently a Corp member (NYSC) serving in Enugu North LGA, we were used for the 2023 presidential election at Enugu North LGA. We had three days training before the election date. During the training, we were told provision would be made for our transportation and feeding, but we are yet to receive anything.

We were told to be present at INEC office a day before the election and that we will be sleeping at our collation center which didn't happen. We all ended up sleeping at the INEC office.

We never knew we will be sleeping in an open air, without a roof over our head and on a MAT.

Neither did we know we will be visited by a Snake, BIG rats, spiders, BIG black ants, etc while sleeping. We almost got bitten by a snake but God safed us.

it all happened without any medical personal on ground.

Provision wasn't made for food, not even a sachet water. we went through all this without getting 5 naira from INEC.

On the day of the presidential election, there wasn't enough vehicles to convey us to our polling unit. Some of us got to our polling unit by 1pm, 2pm etc and almost got beaten by the angry voters who had waited for so long to cast their vote, thank God for the Reverend father who intervened on our behalf.
I'm grateful to God for a peaceful conduct in my polling unit.

After election, our buses came to pick us back to INEC office for submission of election materials.

Arriving INEC office, The INEC officials refused to collect the election materials from us. We were asked to spend another night in their office (without food and water). Some of my colleagues disagreed with them, begged them to get the materials so that they can go back to their destination which they refused.

A Corp member said to one of the officials,

i quote "please sir, why is INEC treating us like animals"

How did they expect us to return from our polling unit, with all the stress we went through at the polling unit, standing all day without food & water yet expect us to spend another night here without making any provisions for us. Not even the training/feeding allowance was given to us.

We had no option than to sleep just to secure the materials given to us since the INEC officials refused to collect the election materials that night.

I told God, if I survive this night, I will never do INEC work again. I was so hungry, tired and stressed out, I had just 200 naira with me which was supposed to be my transport (remember it's hard to get cash in Nigeria).
How I survived till morning being Sunday 26 February 2023 is still a miracle. This incident made me conclude that hunger doesn't kill.

As early as 5am on the 26 February, INEC officials started collecting the election materials while checking if everything was complete in the BVAS box given to us.

In conclusion, I want to appeal to you all to help us beg INEC officials in Enugu North LGA, Enugu, to please pay the Corp members they used to carry out the election and all the INEC AD-HOC STAFF here in Enugu North.

Let it be known that we the Corp members at Enugu North LGA are not going to participate in the Governorship election if we don't receive our allowances for the presidential election.
Thank You.

The money that must have been approved but some wicked set of people want to sit on it.

So many opportunists in Nigeria

But for your mind na igbo vs yoruba

...How is receiving double payment a luck?? That was stealing.

Never4getU:
When we say it, they're the first to rant on the internet. The southeast part of this country are cannibals, they're not receptive neither are they accommodating in nature. They're very divisive and animaly in nature. This isn't the case in the southwest, Ad-hoc staff get better treatment among the yorubas. We provide them with canopies, chairs even get them foods to eat. We never subject them to such a dehumanize situations, we get them a place in the local govt in a very conducive and relaxing to lay over not animal ridden crib.

This is one thing we say about the igbo, the accommodating nature of the yoruba they're bow trying to misunderstood for cowardice isn't something they can accept in the east. U're only be welcome in the east as visitor Just for a day or two, but anything after u're no longer welcoming afterwards. They do all sort of evil things to u. They will monitor ur life and until they succeeded pushing u out they won't rest over ur matter.
I'm speaking from experience. The igbo are not good people.

And where did the incident happen? Have you heard of the same in other region?

After going through all this, some people had the guts to vote for Tinubu. Nigerians don't deserve pity.

Those who will do this work in 2027 will experience worse things if Tinubu isn't kicked out of that office by the Supreme Court.

My 2015 election experience in Rivers State was very "sweet" sha.I had 80K on me on the night of the election.PDP 50k,APC 20k,I can't remember the party that paid 10k again

kcpumping:
We were treated same way in 2011 in Ogun State.

I mobilised all ota Corp members and we stormed abeokuta for our money. When the commission wanted to play us we headed to the rock fm to make the whole stuff go on air. But on realising that, the man sent for me and my guys and appealed that the money will be paid within 24hrs. He even ask us to go to Rock fm and broadcast it with his car.

Go and verify. *We were paid same day*

That country don cast tey tey
