He stated that INEC officials found guilty of violating the law would face the same consequences as other individuals who interfere with the electoral process.
“As I sit here with my Heads of Department and Electoral Officers, I have told them that there are provisions in the law, if they breach them, particularly if they tamper with the integrity of the vote, they will go to jail. It is the same with anyone else who would want to tamper with the integrity of votes,” he said.
Egwu’s warning underscores the commission’s emphasis on protecting the credibility of the 2027 elections and ensuring that votes are handled in accordance with the law.
He also urged political parties and candidates to understand their responsibilities and play their part in promoting a peaceful, transparent and credible electoral process.
