2023: INEC to monitor politicians’ bank accounts, transactions

[FILES] INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu. Photo; FACBOOK/INECNIGERIA and political parties in a bid to track the sources of funds for their campaigns.

Represented by Prof. Ajayi Kunle, who is INEC’s National Commissioner in charge of the party monitoring committee, the INEC boss said the electoral empire would also monitor the movement of money on election days to tackle vote-buying at polling units. “As long as we have not notified anybody that the race to the 2023 general election has started, we are not unaware of what anybody is doing. We follow the law strictly.

On the issue of vote-buying, the INEC chairman said: “We are going to establish finance monitoring teams and they will be among the electorate but they won’t know. We are going to do it in a way that the influence of money will be reduced because we want to make the electoral field a level playing ground for both rich and poor candidates and the electorate. Everybody will go on an equal economic level so that you won’t influence the voting pattern”.

“If we insist on accountability, then you can begin to somehow sanitise the way political parties raise funds. I think what has happened is that we paid too much attention to the issue of electronic transmission of results, and somehow they quickly passed the sections about raising the threshold. The civil societies did not pay much attention in their advocacy against this particular issue.

He said that failure to do so could debase the voting process to the level of what he described as “a commodity for the highest bidder”.

You are wrong on this one because Nigeria politicians doesn't keep money in their bank 🏦 but Ghana must go in their 🏠 house s

😂🤣 politicians share Ghana must go, they don't do transfer. Bank managers and political associates of politicians are the ones to monitor. Monies moved across the borders too should be monitored. Not bank accounts. The more you look at bank accounts, the less you see.

What do you think about DONORS.

Some politicians are more powerful than INEC Toothless Inec

They have already statched the money they need in cash so no need.

Rich men have proxy’s everywhere. INEC publicising intentions means there will be a change of tack. Why they cannot gather evidence quietly & go to court signifies they r just playing to d gallery. An audio to divert

That would be nice

Will that stop vote buying and use off thugs to hijack ballot boxes?

You cannot do anything. Talking no action.

Which politicians? 🤣🤣🤣
