INEC seeks EFCC’s help in tracking fraudulent election financing, votes buying

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Kaduna State, has sought the continuous collaboration of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) Kaduna Zonal Command in tracking of fraudulent electoral campaign financing and vote buying.

This plea was made on Thursday, 24th November, 2022 by the new Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr. Mahamuda Isah, when he paid a courtesy visit to Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC.

“EFCC is a critical stakeholder, a supporting pillar and very important to the success of the 2023 election, we rely on the Commission to help because we cannot succeed without EFCC; we are therefore seeking for your help in tracking fraudulent campaign financing and vote buyers,” he said.

In his response, the EFCC Zonal Commander, ACE Harry Erin assured Dr. Isah of EFCC’s continuous support in ensuring that vote buying and fraudulent campaign financing are reduced to the minimum.
