he Imo State Government and Peoples Democratic Party last week clashed over the allegation by the Coalition of United Political Parties that a secret legal action had been instituted at the State High Court to stop the use of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System in the 2023 general election and remove the National Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission , Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
On September 14, 2022, the umbrella body of some of the opposition political parties CUPP raised the alarm over alleged plots to compromise the INEC voters register. The CUPP spokesman particularly noted that Voter Registration in Omuma, the home Ward of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State was inflated with fictitious names.
Reacting to the outrage, the electoral body, which had conducted the Continuous Voter Registration nationwide between 28 June 2021 and July 2022, maintained that, since the end of the CVR exercise, no fresh registrant was added or subtracted from the voters’ register. He therefore called on the relevant security agencies to find out from the CUPP spokesman how he obtained the voters register even when the INEC is still at the stage of ABIS which must be concluded before an official voters register can be released to the public.
