Less than one week to the end of campaigns for the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission has revealed that it is compiling the names of candidates and political parties engaged in verbal attacks during the campaigns.

While commending the staff members of the commission for their dedication, he said every Nigerian with PVC should vote, noting that there were 93,469,008 registered voters.

“This will also enable security officers, the media and domestic observers engaged in election duty to vote and this will no doubt increase voter turnout in our elections,” he noted.Speaking on what would happen to the 2,381 PVCs confiscated from migrants by the Nigeria Immigration Service, Okoye stated that the NIS “will turn over the PVCs of those arrested to the commission and the commission will cancel and deactivate them.

In an interview with one of our correspondents on Saturday, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, stated that the party and its candidates had always focused on issues and that the decision by the umpire to compile a list of offenders was a welcome development. “Ours is not about name-calling; we are the victims of attacks, verbal and physical, by the APC in Kaduna, Borno and Ondo states. These are on record.”

When reminded that some critics had fingered Keyamo and Fani-Kayode as being culpable, Ibrahim denied it, saying it was a misconception.
