Edo Guber Aspirant, Iyere Exposed For Using Unregistered Organisations in Political Deception

Comrade Kennedy Iyere, a gubernatorial aspirant in Edo State, has been exposed for orchestrating a scheme involving unregistered organizations to deceive the public and perpetrate political fraud.

A scrutiny check with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), revealed that Iyere had been using unregistered organisations as fronts to garner support and funding under false pretenses. These organizations, purportedly established to champion various social causes and community development initiatives, turned out to be nothing more than tools for his political ambitions.

One such organization, named “Entrepreneur Fund for Women,” claimed to empower women in entrepreneurship and provide financial assistance for business ventures. Similarly, “40 Million Ballot” was presented as a voter education and mobilization initiative aimed at promoting democratic participation. Additionally, “Civil Society Committee for Anti-Fraud Election Security (CISCAES)” purported to be a watchdog group focused on ensuring fair and fraud-free elections.

However, upon closer scrutiny, it was revealed that none of these organisations were registered with the CAC, which left many people to wonder about their legitimacy and credibility. The lack of official documentation raised red flags about their funding sources, operational transparency, and compliance with regulatory standards.

Testimonies from former members of these unregistered organizations shed light on Iyere’s deceptive tactics. Many individuals recounted how they were lured into joining these groups with promises of financial support, job opportunities, and community development projects. However, these promises remained unfulfilled, leaving members disillusioned and betrayed.

“I thought I was contributing to a noble cause that would benefit our community,” said a former member of Iyere’s 40 Million Ballot Movement, who spoke on a condition of anonymity. “But I soon realised that it was all a facade orchestrated by Kennedy Iyere for his own political gain. We were used and discarded once our usefulness expired.”

The use of unregistered organizations as a smokescreen for political activities has raised concerns among legal experts and civil society organizations. According to Nigerian law, any organization engaging in public activities, especially those related to fundraising and advocacy, must be registered and comply with regulatory requirements. Failure to do so not only undermines transparency but also exposes unsuspecting individuals to potential exploitation and fraud.
