2019: Don’t Stop Politicians From Snatching Materials, NYSC Tells Corps Members by whizpet(op): 11:03am On Nov 08, 2018
The Director-General Brigadier-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Suleiman Kazaure, has advised corps members that will be deployed for 2019 general elections against stopping politicians from snatching materials.

Addressing corps members yesterday at the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Darkingari, Kebbi State, Kazaure advised:”If politicians want to snatch election materials from you, don’t drag issues with them. Help them carry it to their vehicle to avoid problems”.

He also warned corps members against bribe taking during the elections, saying “You are not covered by any immunity; anybody caught violating the Electoral Act is going to face the full wrath of the law”.

Kazaure, who was represented by a deputy director at the Evaluation Department of the NYSC Headquarters, Mrs Victoria Ango, also told the corps members: “You are the future leaders. So, don’t lose your life for politicians.

He said the NYSC had assisted in the successful conduct of elections across the country; while the election security committee had ensured corps members’ safety.

He said the scheme had set up a security committee to come up with mechanisms to monitor corps members during elections.

He said: “INEC will also train corps members on how to discharge their electoral duties during the polls”.

NYSC State Coordinator Mr Usman Barde commended corps members for complying with camp rules and regulations.

That's definitely not the job of NYSC but security agents, who have been guilty of looking the other way when APC thugs go on a ballot snatching spree.

That's unfortunate statement.
Why should they help them carry the ballot box to their vehicles.


This is just an attempt to formalize the rigging.

He didn't even say call the police.

Really unfortunate

Good advise. It’s not the job of NYSC officials to stop dangerous politicians who are snatching ballot boxes, it’s the job of the police.

It’s like when someone is robbing you at gun point, be wise and cooperate with them, do not try to be Jackie Chan, leave it to the police unless you have a gun too to protect yourself, legally acquired

Meaning that corpers participate to help rig elections huh It's so unfortunately a leader of a strategic team like the NYSC who is a partner in our democratic process can make this kind of silly but indicting statement.

How it wished that he rather called on INEC as a stakeholder to ensure that adequate security is provided (in back-ground of the staggering budget provision made for the 2019 election) for his hardworking but hapless corps member who are serving fatherland even @ the risk of their own lives. undecided

Now see the sort of advice this man is giving corpers!
So he wants them mistaken as a part of the criminal syndicate carting away ballot during election!

Call the policehuh Clap for ur self.....the thugs will be waiting for you to call the police..... He be like den never point U gun before,..
You and the dude who made the unfortunate statement may support the government. But what if a PDP politician walks up to them and says, take the ballot box to my car, the corps member should just obey too?


There are police officers there. Report to them period.
