The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Monday, said there was low participation of eligible voters in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in Lagos compared to Kano.

INEC said that the weekly update released on February 7 indicated that the state has a total of 191,302 online pre-registrations and 63,961 completed registrations.

“The turnout of eligible registrants is somewhat low when compared with a state like Kano, which is on the same pedestal with Lagos State,” Sam Olumekun, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos, and National Commissioner-designate said.

Mr Olumekun who was represented by James Popoola, INEC’s administration secretary said that CVR remained the bedrock of a successful and credible election.

He explained INEC had launched publicity programmes for the ongoing CVR exercise.

“Hence the clarion call on all critical stakeholders, including the media to join hands with the commission in mobilising Lagos residents to take maximum advantage of the opportunity provided by the current CVR,” the INEC boss said.

He also noted that new polling units have been created in Lagos. According to him, the state has a total of 4,861 new polling units spread across the under-served areas in the state.

He said that with the expansion, the state now had a total of 13,325 polling units.

“The ongoing CVR is part of the Commission’s efforts at populating the new polling units.

“However, from available data, the majority of the new polling units are underpopulated, necessitating the drive to address the ugly trend,” the INEC boss said.

Only if you zombies will tiink like us.

You are from Imo state.. Try and be proud of South East which you are from.

When someone lie too much, it's inevitable not to forget about some of them.

Same you initially claimed your dad is from Osun state. Has your dad just told you as usual that he is from Lagos state?

Initially it was your girlfriend that is from Imo state not until recently your mom told you that she is from Imo state.

You have never supported any development news regarding Lagos state or SW in general.

Meanwhile, I doubt if you reside anywhere Lagos state. Upon your bad comments regarding Lagos state and other SW states, you have never posted a single photo taken by you anywhere in Lagos. You could have been showing us all that to proof you indeed reside in Lagos state but instead all your photos have been taken in Imo state including the one you had with Ihedioha at Imo airport.

I keep on wondering which kind of person you are that you see nothing wrong in lying deliberately. Even having being bursted severally for all this same lies.

Having honor and dignity is really important in life cos it would be useful. You have broken Mr Lai's record on this forum, haba
