The Independent National Electoral Commission has visited some places of worship to sensitize the people of Osun State who have not collected their permanent voter cards to do so and to tell them about the evils of vote-buying.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the State, OLUSEGUN AGBAJE, led other officials of the commission to the Winners’ Chapel and NASFAT in Osogbo to address congregants on the readiness of the electoral umpire to conduct a credible poll on September 22.
While addressing the congregation at Winners’ Chapel, AGBAJE urged the people of the state to shun any form of inducement saying anyone arrested for electoral offence during the exercise would be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.
Reacting on the move by INEC to stop vote buying, a member of the Social Democratic Party, YEMI AKINBODE believes the body is not proactive.
