The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said the disturbing reports of underage voting that emerged from last Saturday’s local government polls in Kano State did not relate to any election it conducted or had responsibility for.
According to the national electoral body, the clarification was necessary in order to allay public worries over the credibility of the 2019 elections.
INEC, in a statement by a spokesperson, Oluwole Uzzi, on Tuesday, acknowledged the pictures of the underage voters, but stated that “as far as we can ascertain, they (the pictures) relate to a local government election conducted at the weekend (in Kano)”. While the Commission remains resolute in our commitment to sanitise the nation’s electoral process and deliver free, fair and credible elections, we cannot be held directly or vicariously liable for a process outside our legal purview. Our our part, INEC assures the public that we are doing all we can to ensure a credible election,” INEC said.
However, INEC’s assurance may be doubted if it becomes established that the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, KANSIEC, used the national commission’s voters’ register and the pictured underage voters were accredited using that.

Shame on Buhari and INEC. I pray for the day this administration will accept responsibility for anything. INEC officials accrediting those kids and yet they're denying the pictures.

ReplyDeleteBut pictures like these were also posted on FB during the last presidential elections. INEC didn't see them? Mschew.
ReplyDeleteToo late, millions of under aged already registered in the north. They have been doing rigging, and using millions of the unemployed and children to do voting fraud in the north since the 1960s. So nothing new. That is their specialty.
