The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria has issued a warning to voters ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging them to reject vote-buying practices involving ₦20,000. INEC's Director of Voter Education, Victoria Eta Messi, emphasized that accepting small amounts of money for votes undermines democracy and weakens citizens' power to demand good leadership.
She highlighted that economic hardships are real and selling votes only deepens problems instead of solving them. INEC reaffirmed its commitment to voter education to help Nigerians understand the value of their votes and make informed decisions during the elections.
