Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has notified Nigerians to desist from every act of vote-buying and selling votes in the nation’s electoral system, especially in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
Secretary to the Commission Dr. George Ekpungu made it known on Friday while receiving a delegation of the Civil Society Partners on Electoral Reform, CISPER, who paid a courtesy visit to the EFCC.

He commended CISPER for coming forward to partner with the EFCC in curbing the menace of vote-buying and selling and called on other well-meaning Nigerians to come and partner with the Commission in fighting all sorts of economic and financial crimes in the country.
Atoye said:
As a civil society, we are in the Commission to remind you that it is your responsibility, as we know you are spending a lot of resources and energy going after people who stole our collective wealth.
We believe that if we are able to address certain concerns at the recruitment level, we will not have leaders who are looters and that will serve as a proactive approach that will tackle the issue of corruption.
