Underage Voter Causes A Fight Among Party Agents In Keffi (must See Photo) by nwonufestus(m): 9:50am On Apr 12, 2015
A minor who showed up at the Kofar Pada polling unit in front
of the Emir palace in Keffi, Nasarawa State, stirred up a
heated argument between agents of political parties
participating in today’s governorship and state assembly
elections, leading to scuffles.
The boy of about 12 whose name Daily Trust decided not to
mention, divided opinion among agents of the PDP, APC, and
APGA as well as Accord party, Shehu Kassim Yamusa, Auwal
Shauibu,, Monday Yohanna, and Yusuf Shuaibu, respectively,
leading to a shouting match before security personnel, polling
officers, and a European observers team.
Some insisted the under-aged voter, who presented a valid
PVC for accreditation be allowed to
perform his civic duty at that age because he has been so
registered by INEC, while others insisted he must not be
allowed because doing so contravenes the provisions of the
law on age of voters.
The argument lasted over 20 minutes, with agents even
engaging themselves in a scuffle that took a combined team
of policemen and other security agencies to separate them.
All of these happened before a team of European Observers,
which was led by Dirk Veheyen, and Joelle Meganck. The
foreigner observers interviewed the little boy, and took down
his data, but declined to speak officially to our correspondent.
Meanwhile, the Presiding Officer in charge of the polling unit,
Miss Rashidat Momoh told Daily Trust that the unit was not
going to accredit the minor, although would-be voters at the
unit told their correspondent that the boy voted on March 28,
in the first round of elections.
The unit’s senior policeman, Insp. Alibade Charles confirmed
the incident
