The Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) will employ 4,000 ad hoc workers for the November 18 local government elections.
KWSIEC’s chair Uthman Ajidagba spoke in Ilorin yesterday at the opening of a three-day training for 141 facilitators in the election.
The event was organised by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, USAID and UKaid.
Ajidagba dismissed allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the commission employed members of the All Progressives Congress (AOC) as ad hoc workers.
He said: “The allegation is baseless and unwarranted; it is part of their attack on us; it is just calculated to blackmail us. There is nothing like that, as we announced that we were ready for people to come and apply.
“We designed forms and earmarked two days to obtain the form and another two days for submission. We have not even recruited anybody.”
