INEC declares zero tolerance against electoral misconduct

Published

on



Independent National Electoral Commission through the Oyo State Resident Electoral Commissioner Barrister Mutiu Agboke has declared that henceforth no one would be allowed to come to public office through the power of gun or manipulation. The declaration of zero tolerance against electoral misconduct was made during the commission’s end of the year party held in Ibadan recently.

According to him, “INEC would continue to sustain the provision of level plain ground for all parties and candidates in any election, when we allow due process to take place in our system, it will bring about natural peace, the security personnel will do less job, but where you allow a disorganized election or manipulated process to be the source of bringing somebody into public office, such a system will be a recipe for rest, for chaos and for various insurrections”.

The activities surrounding the conduct of elections in the country should continue to be guided by the 1999 constitution of federal government as amended as well as 2010 electoral act as amended, “I came to Oyo State we took oath and stood by it, I assure the people of the state that their votes would be counted, I told my staff that our job is to make sure that peoples votes are counted, they were forced to work according to my mindset and my mindset is to make sure that people’s votes are counted.” He said.

He further declared that the conduct of election in the country should follow due process, “I can say without fear that the results of election we announced during the last elections is the true reflections of the wishes and desire of the people of Oyo State which the Supreme court has confirmed through its recent judgment on the governorship election in the state.”

The Oyo State REC in his seasons greeting message, advised that good governance should not be left in the hands of political leaders and other stakeholders in the electioneering process but rather active participation of all and sundry is also key to the development of the country’s democracy.

Celebrating Toks Wahab … Omoluabi Eko at 54

 

 

As Tokunbo Wahab turns 54, it is only fitting to celebrate not just the years, but the man he has consistently shown himself to be—one defined by kindness, humility, and a genuine love for people.

 

Yes, he is the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, and by every standard, he has done extremely well. His work, impact, and dedication in that office are evident for all to see. But that is not even the thrust of this write-up.

 

This is about the person.

 

A proud son of Epe in Lagos, he carries his roots with dignity and grace, reflecting the values of his heritage in the way he lives and relates with people. TKW… Omoluabi Eko—a true embodiment of character, respect, and integrity.

 

He is a man who shows up. Always willing to assist, to help, to give—without hesitation and without noise. His generosity is quiet, yet deeply impactful. His kindness is not occasional; it is who he is.

 

Those who know him closely will tell you he is incredibly accommodating. Easy to approach, easy to speak with, and always ready to make others feel comfortable, heard, and valued. There is a simplicity about him that is rare—no airs, no distance—just a calm, grounded presence.

 

He gives without announcing it. He supports without seeking recognition. He blesses lives in ways that may never be seen publicly, yet remain unforgettable to those who experience his goodwill.

 

In a world where many complicate things, he remains refreshingly simple. In a space where recognition is often chased, he chooses quiet impact. And when others might turn away, he steps forward.

 

As he marks this new chapter, we celebrate not just his life, but we also pray that God grants him many more meaningful years—years of continued service, impact, and grace to keep uplifting his people.

 

Happy 54th Birthday.
