The Independent National Electoral Commission, on Thursday, at the end of Automated Biometric Identification System, identified 2,780,756, as the number of ineligible registrants in Kano State.
The new Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kano, Zango Abdu, during a meeting with members of election stakeholders said at the end of the exercise, 12,298, 944 Nigerians successfully completed the registration as new voters.
He said, “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.”
Also, the REC reiterated that the commission, as mandated by law, would continue to monitor the activities of political parties, as well as track the campaign finances of all political parties as provided by Sections 83, 85, 87, 88, 90, 91,92 and 95 of the Electoral Act of 2022.
To this end, he urged politicians to critically study and pay attention to the provisions of the constitution, the Electoral Act, The Police Act and Public Order Act for the proper and peaceful conduct of political party campaigns, rallies and processions, adding that the commission would continue to track the campaign finances and its activities, as mandated by the law.
Similarly, the REC stressed that there would be no going back on deployment of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System for voter accreditation and the transmission of results to the INEC Result Viewing Portal on Election Day.
On a last note, he pointed out that there would be no incident form that allowed ineligible persons to vote using other person’s Permanent Voters Card during elections.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

I have always said it that if an accurate census is carried out in Nigeria, the North will find out what most of them already know, that they are the minority in Nigeria with an undeveloped land mass.
What is the color beneath your skin?

The first thing to take into action is to find out those miscreants that Registered them and their root support, uproot them by letting them face the law to teach others lesson and check out on other northern states too. In the end they would stop bragging what they don't have

Good work INEC. This has been going on your decades in most of the core Northern states. The conspiracy and deceit goes far deeper than minor voter registration alone.
