The Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) has said that the
passing out of two batches of members of
the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in
Edo State will not affect the conduct of the
state's gubernatorial election which has been
rescheduled for September 28. INEC’s Deputy
Director in charge of Publicity and Voter
Education, Mr Nick Dazang made this
announcement on Saturday in Abuja.
He said that election would be concluded
before the passing out ceremony and that
the commission has sufficient number of
trained and ad-hoc staff to conduct the
election effectively.
He said:
“Information available to INEC shows
that the various batches of the NYSC
will graduate from the scheme in the
first week of October and November.
“Their graduation thus does not
coincide with the Edo governorship
election re-scheduled for Wednesday,
Sept. 28 neither does it affect the
conduct of the said election.
Stakeholders are please urged to
discountenance the rumours."
