According to The Punch, the corps members have refused to show any interest, because of fear of possible violence during the election.

A source told the paper: “Corps members being contacted by INEC to participate in the Rivers rerun election are showing reluctance to serve in the election.

“A good number of them are afraid that there could be violence during the election, and these are young men and women who don’t want to get killed because of some election.”

Resident Electoral Commissioner in Rivers, Aniedi Ikoiwak, said the decision on whether to participate or not was up to the corps members to make.

Ikoiwak added that INEC will get ad hoc staff from other government agencies, if they don’t have enough personnel for the job on Saturday.

“From the beginning, the NYSC work is on a voluntary basis. We know that some of them might have been told by their parents not to be part of it (election),” he added.

“But if we have problem of shortage of manpower, we will complete them with workers from other government agencies and institutions.”
