 Senator Aynak, the Commission has reiterated its commitment to address the negative role of money in the election-eering process. The chairman of the Commission, Professor Mammoud Yacoubo, stated this in a budget on Monday at a stakeholder summit aimed at addressing the influence of money on the 2023 general elections. In his welcome address, Yacoubo lamented the activities of moneybags whom he said were desperate to compromise the will of the people at every election cycle. Arden, however, that in collaboration with security agencies, the Commission will do everything possible to ensure money will not be used to subvert the will of the people in the 2023 elections. Surely election is not a business venture for profit. Instead, it is an application to serve the people with the understanding that the people may prefer someone else on one occasion, but then there would be an opportunity to reapply after four years. Citizen choices must never be subverted by the negative use of money. Understandably, many Nigerians have demanded to know from Aynak what the Commission is doing about the deleterious influence of money in elections. Particularly, the diabolical practice of purchase of PVCs from voters ahead of election and for buying a polling unit on election day. Over the years, we introduced a number of measures including the slight reconfiguration of our polling units to bring the ballot boxes closer to the voting cubicles to discourage the exposure of the marked ballot papers by voters to vote buyers.
