The Ogun State Chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has expressed strong opposition to comments made by Barr. Babatunde Osibodu, Chairman of the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC), regarding alternative identification methods for eligible voters in the upcoming November 16th Local Government Polls.

Barr. Osibodu suggested using passports, driver’s licenses, NIN cards, and other government-issued IDs as alternatives to voter cards at polling booths. However, IPAC insists that only the INEC-issued voter’s card should be used for identification, as stipulated by law.

According to IPAC, allowing alternative IDs undermines the election’s credibility and transparency, potentially compromising the polls’ sanctity. They urge Barr. Osibodu to retract his statement and issue a public apology to Ogun State voters.

IPAC emphasizes the importance of adhering to established electoral laws and guidelines to ensure a free, fair, and transparent electoral process. They stress that every eligible voter has the right to participate in a democratic process that upholds the highest standards of integrity.

As the November 16th LG elections approach, IPAC calls on OGSIEC and all election stakeholders to respect democratic values and ensure the election remains a legitimate representation of the people’s voices.
