He said: “They are yet to pay us our allowance. INEC is not speaking to us. They are not giving us listening ears at all. Many of us are affected, and they are yet to pay. It is sad that INEC is yet to fulfil its promise of paying us.
“Those attending to us at the commission’s office are refusing to listen to our plight. We are demanding the payment of our allowance, or we storm the INEC office massively starting from this week.
Also speaking with newsmen on Sunday, another ad-hoc staff member, pleaded with the state Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa and other stakeholders to prevail on INEC in the state and pay them their allowance.
He said: “I’m also ready to join the protest if we didn’t receive the money before Tuesday because it’s getting late. It’s over two weeks that the election was conducted. They used and dumped us. I feel INEC has no reason not to pay us.”
