INEC says passing out of Corps members will not affect Edo State election

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that the passing out of two batches of
members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Edo State will not affect the conduct of the state's gubernatorial election which has been rescheduled for Life Insurance Co Lincoln September 28. INEC’s Deputy Director in charge of Publicity and Voter Education, Asbestos Lawyers Mr Nick Dazang made this announcement on Saturday in Abuja.
He said that election would be concluded before the passing out ceremony and that the commission has sufficient number of trained and ad-hoc staff to conduct the election effectively.
He said:

“Information available to INEC shows that the various batches of the NYSC will graduate from the scheme in the first week of October and November.Holland Michigan College

“Their graduation thus does not coincide with the Edo governorship election re-scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 28 neither does it affect the conduct of the said election. 

Stakeholders are please urged to discountenance the rumours."
