The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has sought the support of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in cleaning the nation’s voters’ register, IgbereTV reports
Yakubu made the call during the Commission’s quarterly meeting with the CSOs in Abuja on Thursday.
“I will like to appeal to all Nigerians to seize the opportunity of the display to scrutinise the list and help us clean it further so that the final register of voters for the 2023 general elections can be compiled and published,” he said.
“We played our own part, which was to do the initial cleaning up of the register, but the law required that Nigerians help us, and that is why we’re printing 9.3 million copies of the register and displaying the same at the wards and local governments nationwide.
“Let me once again appeal to civil society and Nigerians in general to please, when we paste the list, check and scrutinise so that if there are still ineligible persons in the register, kindly draw our attention to it so that at the end of the day, we’ll have a clearer and better register for the election.
