The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned politicians against buying up voter's cards from the electorate in order to rig the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra.
.
INEC's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC)in Anambra Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu gave the warning on Thursday when members of the state's council of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), paid him a courtesy visit.
.
The warning came amid widespread reports that politicians were mopping up voters' cards, ahead of the polls.
.
There were also reports that several politicians had been ferrying people from Jos and Lagos, among other states, to come and register in Anambra during the seven-day continuous voter registration exercise in the state.
.
But Onukaogu said that such antics would not help the parties concerned.
.
He said that it was a waste of resources and time for anyone to think that the voter's cards bought by politicians would be useful during the election as the cards would not be used to vote.
