Twenty-four Nigerians have filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission for “failing to give them and other seven million Nigerians adequate time and opportunity to complete their voter registration after they have carried out their registration online.”

According to a statement by the Deputy Director, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, Kolade Oludare, Sunday, the plaintiffs, who are suing for themselves and on behalf of seven million other Nigerians want to “complete the registration process so that they can obtain their Permanent Voter Cards, and exercise their right to vote.”

INEC recently disclosed that out of 10,487,972 Nigerians, who carried out their pre-registration online, only 3,444,378 completed the process at a physical centre. This represents just 32.8 percent of completed online registration.

But in the suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1662/2022 filed last Friday at the Federal High Court, Abuja, the plaintiffs are seeking “an order of mandamus to direct and compel INEC to re-activate its continuous voters registration exercise to allow the plaintiffs to complete their registration and collect their PVCs.”...

MY OWN REQUEST FROM INEC IS VERY SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT.
..
Let the INEC to be also releasing “THE NUMBER OF CANCELLED POLLING-UNITS”, And then, “The Total Number Of Registered Voters That Were Affected By The Cancelled Polling-Units” in each of the results that they are releasing to the public...
The information is also as highly necessary as the Election Results itself.

PandoraObi:
The essence of the registration have been defeated when multiple registration is almost half of the registration especially in the south east just to sway votes in favour of Peter Obi, there is no need of continue wasting resources and effort on futility

trutharena:
The court should just pick them up and fine them like 20million each for wasting the court time.

You have years to register for your PVC but you were busy doing nonsense and when the deadline passed, you have the effrontery to drag INEC to court for not extending deadline twice.

If they keep the registration on till now, what time will they have to validate their list, print the PVC, and prepare for the election?
