17,000 Ondo Governorship Election Ad-hoc Staff Accuse INEC Of Owing Allowances

office massively starting this week,” he stated.

Another ad-hoc worker, who spoke on condition of anonymity, appealed to the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu to intervene in the matter and ensure the payments are made.

“I believe the INEC chairman is not aware of this problem. If he knows, he should intervene because we don’t know why our money is being delayed. The INEC should do something.”

Reacting to this, INEC’s spokesman in the state, Dr Temitope Akanmu denied the allegation, saying the commission had commenced the payment of allowances to the ad-hoc staff who took part in the governorship election.

He blamed non-payment on issues with their financial institutions.

Akanmu explained, “We have paid the ad-hoc staff who worked during the election. But we understand that there are some who have issues with their banks, and we are working with them to resolve whatever problems they might be experiencing.

“So, what we have is just a pocket of challenges that is common with banking errors. The few ones who are yet to receive them will get them soon, I can assure them. The REC, Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola, is mostly concerned about it, which has to deal with banking errors. She has instructed that it be fixed.”
