‘Accept monies from politicians, but vote according to your conscience’
Mr Igini conceded that “hunger and poverty” are major factors encouraging vote buying in the country, but urged Nigerians to accept monies from vote buyers and still vote according to their conscience. He said INEC has resolved to keep its voting cubicles away from public glare to encourage secret balloting and protect voters from being monitored by the buyers.
“Take the money and go to the cubicle and vote . INEC arrangement of the cubicle is going to be different now. People will lose their money. We are about to see the end of electoral rigging in Nigeria,” he stated.
