IPAC Condemns Brazen Vote-buying In Ekiti Gov’ship Election

Accordingly, IPAC called on the National Assembly to expedite action on the Electoral Offences Commission and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to assent to it before the 2023 general election. He said the arrest and prosecution of electoral offenders will restore sanity in the nation’s democratic process, adding that the police should quickly prosecute those arrested for vote buying in Ekiti State including INEC officials and security agents who aided and abetted the crime.

“The ugly Ekiti episode has eroded the value of the hard work by INEC which also has inadvertently affected the perception of the citizens as to the capacity of INEC to conduct and ensure credible election results, hence council urges the commission to meticulously evaluate its performance in Ekiti with a view to improving in the forthcoming

Osun State governorship election. Every vote must count and be counted in the overall result without inducement of the electorate. This is the only way to boost the nation’s electoral process and encourage massive voter turnout in subsequent elections. Nigerians yearn for a new lease of life and dividends of democracy, not carnage as obtainable today across the country,” he said.

Noting that the court is the temple of justice and a beacon of hope for all aggrieved and deprived citizens, the council urged aggrieved candidates and their political parties to approach the Ekiti State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal for redress and never resort to self-help. “With the active participation of Nigerians, we shall enthrone genuine democracy in the country where every vote is counted and counts without financial inducement, harassment, rigging and violence. IPAC will continue to promote democracy and good governance in Nigeria. It is a task that must be done. We are all in it together. Together, we shall make Nigeria great again,” he said.
