Inec Uncovers 11,000 Cases Of Double Registrations In Imo by Righton: 9:54am On Feb 20, 2011

THE resolve of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to present a credible voter register for the April general elections has led to the discovery of over 11,000 cases of double registrations in Imo State.

The state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Selina Oko, revealed this in Owerri at the weekend.

According to Oko, the software installed in the Direct Data Capturing (DDC) machines exposed and isolated the affected persons’ names.

“We registered over 1.6 million plus, but we have detected all those who did double registration. Over 11,000 were detected to have double-registered,” he said.

Indeed, INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega had promised that his Commission would remove all dual or double registered names from the voter register.

He said the DDC machines used in the registration had software that could detect the names of those that registered more than once.

In the wake of reported stolen or hijack of the DDC machines, he had warned that anybody found to have registered more than once risked jail term.

However, The Guardian learnt that though the deadline for display of the lists of potential voters had ended, only a few centres actually displayed the registers in Imo State.

At the Imo Concorde Hotel premises and Owerri Girls’ Secondary School, no list was displayed as at yesterday.

But the Imo REC attributed the problems encountered in making the lists public to faulty printing machines.

She had initially assured that the commission would produce and display the lists in all 27 local councils in the state before the deadline expired.

Council chairmen in the state, who were yet to receive the lists of voters for their areas, said that they were in constant touch with INEC officials at the headquarters on the issue.

What has doing better or not got to do with my post. Well, if you cant even comprehend a simple statement, the odds of you and your people doing better than us is closer to zero.

The point here is that the seemingly high number of JAMB registrants from IMO does not in any way reflect the situation on ground. It is simply a fallacy and in due time, the truth shall reveal itself

The 'seemingly high' number is because it's a state full of people that can spell the word Igbo, which you can't spell, so obviously they will outshine you, you'll become jealous, and attack them on the internet.

mind you you're using an internet cafe owned by an Igbo and they're reading it from a school computer as Ibadan University.

get it?
