Nasarawa voters praise youth corps members
Some voters in
Nasarawa State on Wednesday praised members of the National Youth
Service Corps used by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) as ad
hoc staff in the last two elections. One of the voters, Ahmed Tukur,
made the observation in an interview in Lafia, saying the corps members
displayed a high level of discipline and impartiality in the conduct of
the elections.
According to him,
the government should engage the services of corps members not only for
election purposes but also for other public assignments and functions
from now. “Their conduct in these elections shows they can be relied
upon,” he said
Another voter, Musa
Abdullahi, said the corps members had made the just concluded elections
free and fair by refusing to compromise the resolve of INEC to conduct
credible polls.
“There were no cases of snatching of ballot boxes; that alone was a plus for the corps members,” he said.
