The Independent National Electoral Commission in Anambra State is
demanding an illegal sum of N2.2m to make certified true copies of
electoral documents available to All Progressive Congress (APC), as
ordered by the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal Awka, citing
“hike in the price of materials.”
The memo was issued at the instance of the Resident Electoral
Commissioner, Prof Chukwuemeka Onukogu, and could set a dangerous
precedent for INEC work in the country.
In rather atrocious English, the memo said:
“Taking cognizance of the hike in the price of materials in the
bid to producing and furnish interested Applicants with all the
electoral documents they may request/require to prosecute their
respective election petitions, the above members arrived at the
prevalent costs listed below viz:
1. 100 Cartons of A4 Paper @ N3, 500 each = 350,000.00
2. 25 Packets of Toner @ 20.000 each = 500,000.00
3. 100 litres of Diesel for Generator @ N170 per litre for 14 days = 238,000.00
4. Photocopying personnel @ N25,000 each for 21 LGA = 525,000.00
5. Miscellaneous Expenses such as servicing Generating plant = 100,000.00
6. Servicing of Photocopier Machines = 100,000.00
7. Purchase of 10 Giant Stapler @ 5, 000 each = 50,000.00
8. Purchase of 10 packets of stapling pins @N200 each = 2,000.00

TOTAL: N2,220,000.00
