 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday.

Governor Francis Nwifuru has directed the chairmen of the 13 local government areas of Ebonyi State to pay all outstanding salaries and pensions of workers before 2 pm on Monday, December 23, 2024.


Nwifuru, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Dr Monday Uzor, and made available to newsmen, issued the directive on Sunday during the Elders and Widows’ Party, organised by the state government at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki.


The governor expressed dissatisfaction over the delay in paying salaries and pensions to local government staff, describing the situation as worrisome.


While emphasising his commitment to delivering good governance anchored on the Chartered Needs Agenda, the governor warned against any sabotage in executing the social contract with the people.


“By 2 pm tomorrow, all the staff of the local government should receive their salaries and pensions,” he stated.


“We are determined to deliver good governance to our people. If you are for us, you join us in what we are doing; if you are not, you leave.


“If by 2 pm tomorrow, staff are not paid October and November salaries, the chairmen should resign,” the governor insisted.


In a cheering development, Governor Nwifuru approved the immediate payment of N50,000, a 25kg bag of rice, and a wrapper to each of the 5,000 widows and elders who attended the party.
