Kazaure, who was represented by the corps’ Director of Planning, Research and Statistics, Mrs Victoria
Okakwu, gave the warning in Ado-Ekiti while addressing the 4,967 corps members
who would participate in Saturday’s
election.
She told the corps members to
discharge their duties effectively and efficiently as well as in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
Kazaure urged them to ensure that
they identify some of the problems facing them and report immediately to INEC
officials to avoid hitches at the polling centres.
The NYSC boss also advised the
corps members not to be deceived by monetary inducement offered by politicians
who might want to rig the election.
”I wish to state clearly that on
no account should any corps member participating in the July 14 governorship
election indulge in electoral malpractice.
”Every corps member should not
tolerate rigging or any form of campaign at the polling units and whenever you
have such incident, quickly report to the security officers around you.
“Also, in a situation whereby
there is crisis, fighting and commotion in your polling unit, please secure
your life first because we do not want to record death of corps members in the
forthcoming election.
”I want to assure all of you that
all your allowances will be paid in due time; so I want all corps members to be
rest assured that you will be properly taken care of.
”But my advice for all you is to
be law abiding, uphold your integrity and be neutral before and during the
election on Saturday,” she said.
Similarly, the Ekiti State
Coordinator of the NYSC, Mrs
Elizabeth Okpongete, appealed to all corps members to abide strictly with all
the instructions that they had learnt during their training for the poll.
Okpongete, however, warned that any corps member caught indulging
in electoral malpractice would face the wrath of the law.
