Browsing: Underage Voters

The Independent National Electoral Commissioner on Friday said underage voters caught during the general elections would be arrested and prosecuted.

It said: “While we acknowledge the development, we reject moves by the indicted commission to unilaterally clean up the discredited register and eliminate the minors without involving all stakeholders including political parties in the process.

The position of the party was contained in a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

“I have passed the stage where someone can intimidate me to do what is wrong,” Yakubu said in the current edition of The Interview

The PDP also noted that the fact that the All Progressives Congress rose in staunch defence of INEC over the existence of the underage voters has further confirmed that the ruling party has more than vested interests in the illegality.
