B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G News!!! 26,000 Northern Voters Imported Into Osun. Nigerian Security services agents have disclosed that over 26,000 voters have been recruited from various states in the North West and North East by the All Progressive Congress (APC) in preparation for the August 09, 2014 Governorship election. This ugly development was the major reason the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Osun, Mr Rufus Akeju who was, after implicated in conducting clandestine voter registration for about 6,000 persons whose identity could not be ascertained by the local community. Mr Akeju has been ordered to proceed on an annual leave after the top echelon of INEC was alerted by security agencies of his connivance with some politicians to conduct the surreptitious registration exercise where thousands of people of Northern origin were registered within a space of three weeks during the voter registration update in the state. Security implication of voter migration under investigation, is the security threats of the act. Some politicians may instigate violence with these non-residents in the event of losing the election. It is the fear of security men that most of these persons who are mostly between the ages of 17 and 24 could be used by politicians to cause havocs before, during and after the general elections. The security chiefs confirmed that investigations are still on to unravel the extent to which this plan had been hatched by the politicians and to determine the culpability of some officials of the electoral body. - Hope For Nigeria.
