INEC needs to walk the talk as regards their guidelines. Olarenwaju Ajoke, a petty trader whose child was one of the pupils, said she felt embarrassed by the school’s conduct, adding that the pupils did not have a choice but to obey their teachers. He added that “I think it’s condemnable, of course. “A political party, aspirant or candidate who contravenes any of the provisions of Section 92 of the Act commits an offense and is liable on conviction in the case of an aspirant or candidate, to a maximum fine of N1,000,000 or imprisonment for a term of 12 months; and in the case of a political party, to a fine of N2,000,000 in the first instance, and N1,000,000 for any subsequent offense,” he said. The teacher wore a PDP campaign face cap while instructing the pupils at the assembly ground to say in Yoruba “daddy mummy PDP Ni Edi Bo Fun” translated to mean that “Daddy and Mummy should vote for PDP.” “It is a wrong move by political parties to campaign in a school,”the Executive Director of Brain Builders, and Youth Development Initiative, Abideen Olasupo noted.
