INEC: We are Eliminating Underage Voters from Records *Cardinal Onaiyekan cautions politicians against attempts to rig elections Chuks Okocha in Abuja The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that it is removing underage voters in the registered voters’ records ahead of the forthcoming elections.
INEC’s Commissioner in charge of Information and Voter Education, Mr. Festus Okoye, revealed the commission’s efforts to clean up the voters’ registers on a television programme monitored in Abuja at the weekend. “In terms of non-Nigerians voting, only validly registered voters will be in the position to vote in the 2023 general election. Any time Immigration Service sees any non-Nigerian with a voter’s card and claims to be a Nigerian, they should arrest him and make the card available to INEC and we cancel those registrations.
“With the current yearnings of the people for a better country, the election will no longer be business as usual,” Onaiyekan said yesterday during the celebration of his 40th anniversary as Bishop, at the Holy Trinity Church, Maitama, Abuja. “All of them whether they are in government or not; they should desist from rigging or causing violence, they should not do it, they should allow this election to run in a free and fair way,” he noted.
