The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has said it is working in collaboration with security agencies to trace and arrest any politician who engages in vote buying in the coming 2023 General Election.
This was disclosed by the Head of Information and Communication Technology on Voters registration in Jigawa State, Alhaji Aliyu Abdullahi Alawa, during an interview with newsmen, on Friday.
Alawa said vote buying is a very serious offense under the new Electoral Act and that any person caught would face prosecution.
He said; “We will ensure that there will be no more vote buying during the coming 2023 General election.”
He appealed to electorates not to allow themselves to be used by selfish politicians and to report any incident of vote buying to the security agencies.
Alawa also stressed the commission’s commitment to ensure a free, fair and credible election.
