He also added that at the end of the identification exercise, 12,298, 944 Nigerians successfully completed the registration as new voters, The Punch reports.
Abdu’s word: “The preliminary register of voters in Kano State currently stands at 5,927,565.
“It is preliminary because Section 19 (1) and (2) of the Electoral Act 2022 requires the Commission to display the hard copies of the register of voters for each registration area (Ward) and Local Government Area (and simultaneously publish the entire register on the Commission’s website) for a period of two weeks for scrutiny, claims and objections, by citizens not later than 90 days to a general election.”
The REC also reiterated the commission’s resolve to, as mandated by law, continue to monitor activities of political parties, as well as track their campaign finances as stipulated in Sections 83, 85, 87, 88, 90, 91,92 and 95 of the Electoral Act of 2022.
He, therefore, urged politicians to pay close attention to the provisions of the constitution, the Electoral Act, The Police Act and Public Order Act regarding proper and peaceful conduct of political party campaigns, rallies and processions.
The big question is… How would Nigerians know that INEC actually delisted those fraudulent names?
Who audits INEC?
On the 26th of this month, Nigerians can’t have access to the site.. How would Nigerians know if INEC actually carried out this exercise?
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that INEC Never knew those fraudulent names existed… It took Obidients to smoke them out for them to accept this…. Other Northern states still abound…
