A former member of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) has alleged that there is currently an ongoing thumbprinting process on ballot papers for the 2023 general election in some parts of the northern region of the country.The former Corper, whose identity we chose not to reveal, disclosed this in a memo he made available to News Band over the weekend.He recounted, in the memo, how he stumbled on the information on his return for a business transaction to Jigawa State where he had his NYSC.According to him, between N7,000 to N10,000 is being paid to individuals and families to induce them to thumbprint on 2023 ballot paper that are already available with just party logos.He wrote” I just returned back from Jigawa State where I had my NYSC; I went for a business transaction.“My dear and fellow Obidients, we still have a lot of work to do in Jigawa, Katsina and Bauchi states.“These are the states I can mention that I am 100percent sure PO effect is not being felt at all and these devilish people want to rig the election from these locations.“Now, to the main reason I will drop this very important information here and urgently call for a shout from all PO support groups, social media influencers, excellent orators, intelligent writers to assist in the call out of the wicked and devilish atrocities currently peddling in these areas as mentioned above.“In Katsina and Jigawa states, 7k to 10k is being paid to individuals, families door to door as at last Friday and Monday this week.“Thumbprinting is already ongoing in the ballot papers (this is the greatest shocker beyond human comprehension, 2023 ballot paper is already available with just party logos.)“The idea and antecedent is that on election day, while voters verification is done, paid voters will go home and the already thumb printed ballot papers will be dropped inside the ballot boxes and results will be transmitted electronically with massive numbers for APC and some PDP.“Just to know, APC is solely responsible for these act. This is how the bulk numbers will be transmitted.“This is the core reason they talk about the structure.“LP don’t have such structure in these areas. All LP can do is to shout, use the media, escalate and call out INEC now.“This ungodly act is already taking place in these areas and I couldn’t but shed tears and feel sorry for the country…”We need to share this information on every social media platform until it gets to INEC, these rogues want to undermine our resolve efforts to reclaim our country.”It could be recalled recently how some unscrupulous elements in the Imo State Government colluded with some INEC officials to falsify voters’ register.Such action has cast serious doubt on the ability of INEC to conduct a free, fair and credible election in 2023.
