Less than 19 per cent of Lagos State voters with Permanent Voter Cards came out to vote in the governorship and state legislative elections, statistics obtained by SUNDAY PUNCH have shown.

According to the statistics released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, out of the 6.5 million registered voters in Lagos State, 5.5 million obtained the PVCs.

INEC guidelines state that only persons with the PVCs are allowed to vote, which means the 5.5 million persons were eligible to cast their ballots on Election Day.

However, figures released by INEC showed that only 1,006,074 actually voted during the general elections, representing 18.29 per cent of the 5.5 million voters with the PVCs in the state.

The winner of the governorship election, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress, garnered 739, 445 votes, indicating that less than 14 per cent of Lagosians with the PVCs voted for him.

The turnout of voters in the governorship and state House of Assembly polls was lower than the presidential and National Assembly elections held two weeks earlier.

The total number of accredited voters during the presidential election in Lagos was 1,196, 490, which was higher than the turnout in the governorship election by 190, 416.

From the data gathered from various state results, Jigawa recorded the highest voter turnout in the March 8 polls at 72 per cent. No fewer than 1, 169, 925 persons voted out of the 1, 625, 721 persons with the PVCs.

Sokoto has the second highest voter turnout as 60 per cent of persons with the PVCs were accredited to vote in the elections which were later declared inconclusive.

About 1, 033, 081 persons were accredited to vote out of the 1, 726, 887 with the PVCs. The figure is expected to rise as a supplementary election will hold on March 23.

Crisis-ridden Borno State, which has been battling insurgency for the last nine years, recorded a voter turnout of 1,292,138 out of the 2, 244, 376 persons with the PVC. This constitutes over 57 per cent voter turnout.

Plateau State, whose governorship election has also been declared inconclusive, registered a voter turnout of 54 per cent. The North-Central state accredited 1, 147, 025 out of the 2, 095, 409 voters who had the PVCs.

Taraba State also recorded a 54 per cent voter turnout where Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party secured a second term as governor.

Kaduna State witnessed 53 per cent voter turnout as 1,936,800 voters were accredited out of 3, 648, 831 with the PVCs.

In Adamawa State, where the last elections have also been declared as inconclusive, a 50 per cent voter turnout was recorded. About 894, 481 persons out of 1,788,706 persons with the PVCs voted. However, the figure is also expected to rise as a supplementary election will take place on March 23.

Interestingly, no state in the southern part of Nigeria recorded up to 50 per cent voter turnout.

Of all the states where governorship election held in the South, only the result of Rivers State was held back.

Delta State recorded the highest voter turnout in the South with a little above 48 per cent voter turnout. About 1,188,784 out of 2,470,924 persons with the PVCs were accredited to vote in the oil-rich state while about 37 per cent turned out to vote in Akwa Ibom.

Speaking with our correspondent, a former National Commissioner of INEC, Prof. Lai Olurode, said the election environment was not conducive for peaceful voting.

He believed that the voter turnout and the conduct of the 2015 presidential election were better than the situation in 2019.

Olurode stated, “The aftermath of the presidential election in some places, including Lagos, made many believe that their safety would not be guaranteed. The average voter wants to be sure that when he leaves his home, he will return safely.

“It is important to stress that INEC improved on logistics but other stakeholders in the electoral process probably didn’t do enough. Certainly, there is room for better performance in future elections. Nigeria certainly deserves better electoral engagement.

“Elections ought not to be the equivalent of a slaughter’s slab. Some politicians display an unbelievable level of desperation. We also need to create an electoral regime other than the present zero-sum game, one in which every participant is a winner.”

For the first time,i agree with you.lagos population might just be overexaggerated.seems kano and kaduna are more populous

Lagos is around 7.5 million.

Kano is less than that.

And Kaduna is far less than 6 million.


Nigeria does not know her population...But with NCC announcing that we have about 150 million active simcards, the population of nigeria becomes easy to visualise.

Buhari never planned for a credible election, that's why he forcefully removed the CJN illegally.

Every Nigerian election (particularly with the card reader) gives LIE to the fiction of our 200 million population figure estimate - and in this instance, that Lagos has a 20-22 population.

Before we start crying foul about the voting figures from the north as seen in Jigawa and borno by your analysis. Let's check out this points

1. Is the number of registered voters and PVC collected correct and accepted across the states?

2. If yes then it means the number of voters correlate since the registration process was for a long period of time and the point of terrorist attack also happened within that time.

3. If we doubt the numbers coming out to vote. Why then do we spend so much money in making the PVC available to each.

4. The point of terrorist attacks in how many villages, LGA in the affected states and within what number of days. There is no one cap fits all in this analysis

5. Looking at Lagos for an example. The issue of violence affected just 6 polling units in Oshodi isolo LGA in a state of more than 1380 polling units. So we cannot say the violence caused the apathy since the cases are far less than 1% of the polling units.

We should update our findings and then draw our premise from it in forming our opinion on this instead of allowing different misleading informants swerve away our attention.

We in the southern part of Nigeria should take voting as of great importance instead of using it as means of identification that most of our people use it for with profound respect.

We always feel its not important that is why we can't queue up for it to be sorted out and instead rush back to work.

Though I know the idea of asking what has the government done or would do for us is killing the interest but we must not deter. We would win someday.
Also INEC should make registration and PVC collection less stressful and an online poll to see reasons of no collection.

doctokwus:
That Jigawa recorded 70% and Borno about 53% shows how rigged the elections were in the North.
First no election anywhere in the demicratic world can record up to 70% voter turnout.
Insurgents ridden Borno cannot record up to the 53% because the number of people displaced alone by the insurgency,those that lost their voter cards and those that still live in fear.
What these figures just did is confirm what is already known and that is the fact that the elections were massively rigged in the North for Buhari.
