Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, on Friday, tasked the Independent National Electoral Commission to expunge the names of dead persons and child voters from its voter register ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The group argued that child voting and the presence of dead persons in INEC database would encourage rigging and vote-buying by moneybag politicians who desperately want to occupy elective offices in 2023. The group said the implication of this is that Nigeria may go into the 2023 general elections with a faulty voter register marred by multiple registration and underage persons which could mar the credibility of the elections as well as make the commission incur unnecessary costs, given that the commission might have to print ballot papers for the registered voters.
However, HURIWA stated that mere announcement was not enough, the commission must get to work, adding that with the assent to the Electoral Act 2022 by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , recently, the electoral umpire should be more concerned about having a clean and credible voter register.
Tutu always have the right words to describe them ...
Let sell the country.
Who's the dead person( buhari)
