The National Youth Service Corps has warned politicians and their supporters, against attacking corps members, that will participate in the September 22 governorship election in Osun State.

The warning is coming just as the Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate, also declared support for INEC against vote buying, during the Governorship poll.

While speaking in Ede at the closing ceremony of the orientation course for 2018 Batch B corps members, NYSC Coordinator in Osun State, Emmanuel Attah said government places much value on the lives and wellbeing of all corps members.

According to him, the NYSC would not allow anybody, who attacks any of the youths to go without facing the full wrath of the law.

Some of the leading Governorship candidates at the poll include; Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, Moshood Adeoti, of the Action Democratic Party, Iyiola Omisore of the Social Democratic Party candidate and Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose, has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of hatred towards him and insisted that he would not appear before its officials for questioning before October 16.

Fayose’s tenure will expire on October 15.

The outgoing governor had earlier written to the commission that he would be available to answer questions from the operatives of the commission on the said date.

However, the commission in its reply told the governor to make himself available on Thursday, September 20, 2018.

But Fayose, in his reply on Tuesday cited the danger of violating Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which vested immunity on him as a sitting governor.
