This understanding was reached on Tuesday June 9, 2027 when the Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Obo Etfanga paid a courtesy visit to the Benin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC. 

The State REC who was recently deployed to Edo State said he sought to engage with critical stakeholders including Law Enforcement Agencies as the 2027 general election approaches. Aside the engagement with critical stakeholders, he said the visit was to explore areas of further collaboration while noting that the EFCC has always played significant role in seeking to curtail vote buying during elections.

Ibukun Akande, Chairman of the Institute, Edo State Branch, said the visit was to seek areas of collaboration with the EFCC as the Commission’s mandate is to deal with economic and financial crimes which often revolves around banks and bankers. 

While the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa'ad Hanafi Sa'ad, noted that the Commission will continue to partner with INEC in discharging its mandate of curtailing incidence of vote buying before and during the election, he thanked CIBN leadership for the visit, noting that the Commission will always collaborate with relevant stakeholders in the fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes in the country.
