Civil Society Group Tasks INEC On Campaign Financing

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been asked to sanitise Nigeria’s electoral process, especially with regard to illegal expenditure by political parties.

Briefing journalists in Abuja, the Executive Director of the Centre for Social Justice, Mr Eze Onyekpere, condemned the inducement of voters by the campaign organisations and called for the prosecution of those found guilty.

He also urged INEC to investigate the alleged bribery of officials of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), sale of Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) by some Nigerians and continuing hate campaigns by politicians."
