INEC Announces Plan To Probe FG’s TraderMoni Scheme

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will
probe the TraderMoni micro-credit scheme of the Federal Government. 

INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this to reporters
in Abuja while raising several concerns about vote buying by some
politicians. He said the electoral body was aware of the controversy
trailing the TraderMoni, stressing that they would investigate the
scheme for possible violation of campaign finance laws.

Professor Yakubu explained that the commission would study public
comments on the scheme and assess whether or not the government violated
the campaign finance laws.  

According to him, INEC has a mechanism for tracking campaign finance
violations by the candidates and various political parties in the
country. This comes amid accusations by individuals and groups,
including civil society organisations who described the scheme as a form
of vote-buying.

Earlier, the INEC chairman addressed senior officials of the Federal
Road Safety Corps (FRSC) at a strategy meeting which focussed on the
general elections.  In his presentation, he highlighted 10 areas of
collaboration between the electoral body and the FRSC to ensure the
success of the polls.
