OSUN ELECTION: NYSC DG SAYS NO CORPS MEMBER STOLE ANY ELECTORAL MATERIAL
By Joseph Omoniyi
The Director-General of the National Youths Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Suleman Kazaure, has debunked the rumour that a corps member absconded with the election materials during the governorship election. He said no report of such was received by either the state or the national headquarters of the NYSC in Abuja.
The DG who stated this at the opening ceremony of the 2018 NYSC Annual Management Conference, held in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Tuesday, said on the contrary, the corps member had conducted themselves in a commendable manner during the election last Saturday.
He said, “From what we have gathered from Osun State election, the conducts of the corps members were excellent. They conducted themselves very well and I am pleased with their conducts.
“I also want to say that no corps member absconded with the electoral materials, I don’t think that is true. We have our representatives there and I was adequately briefed about everything that happened there, so there was nothing like that. I am just hearing this for the first time. It is not true.”
He further expressed satisfaction over the conduct of the corps members, who worked as ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, in the last Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
