INEC Ad Hoc Staff Recruitment: PDP Council Chairmen, Ors Substitute Lists

-

By UbongAbasi Ise

There is growing fear that ad hoc staff lists expected to be published before the general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, may lose all the credibility as the qualified applicants are said to be abandoned for those brought forward by the local government council chairmen and other officials belonging to Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP.
A source privy to the INEC in the state recently told our correspondent in strict confidence that politicians have come out to connive with the unscrupulous elements in the commission in order to substitute the lists of the qualified applicants with the ones that contain their cronies who would assist them in rigging the elections in favour of the PDP.

It would be recalled that a 3-day training for those applying for the INEC temporary job took place last week in all the local government areas in the state. Examinations were conducted for the applicants as one of the recruitment processes that would aid the commission in selecting more qualified persons for the polling officers’ position.
It therefore seems the aim of the recruitment examinations will likely be defeated if the fresh ad hoc staff lists allegedly introduced by the politicians see the light of the day.
Another undisclosed source who may be serving as a supervising polling officer, SPO, for INEC in the forthcoming elections in the state has disclosed to our correspondent that some applicants were mobilized last week and transported to and fro the training venues by some political contractors with the condition that N20,000 would be deducted from their allowances should they be given opportunities to work as INEC polling officers.
Meanwhile elections to the office of the President, the Senate and the Federal House of Representatives will take place on Saturday 16th February, 2019 while the Governorship and State House of Assemblies elections are scheduled for March 2, 2019.

By UbongAbasi Ise "Eat and remember the soil because it is human's brother' - Ibibio Proverbs There is a distinct community amongst the 22 villages of Offot Ukwa Clan called Uyo Village. This is the village where Mr. Udom Emmanuel, as Akwa Ibom State governor, is having his office. This village hosts the state judiciary headquarters, Police "A" Division, Nigerian Prisons, Fire Service, State Library headquarters, Uyo local government council, Anchor Insurance, Ibom Plaza, banks, and motley of business organizations. This community is the root of Uyo metropolis, the seat of Akwa Ibom State government. Ironically, this village has never had any indigene appointed as a commissioner into the state cabinet before. None of the indigenes has ever been a Permanent Secretary to any of the state ministries. They are not appointed into boards. They are also eluded by government contracts. More shockingly, no indigene of Uyo village has ever been elected Chair
