INEC honours Corper for rejecting bribe to rig during Ondo by-election The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) today honoured a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Ismail Lawal, who rejected a bribe to rig the inconclusive Ilaje-Ese-Odo House of Representatives By-election in Ondo State in favour of a particular party. Lawal was said to have been put under duress by loyalists of the party, who offered him N8000 to turn the result in their favour but rejected to do their wish. The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Mr. Akin Orebiyi said Lawal showed probity, honesty and integrity in the conduct of the election, saying Nigeria needed the likes of the Corps member for its progress and development. --CULLED FROM DAILYPOST
