Former Director of Voter Education of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Oluwole Uzi-Osaze, has provided clarity on the issues of underage and ineligible voters in the recently released Provisional Register of Voters.

Mike Igini, the former Akwa Ibom State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), had accused some staff of the commission of registering underage voters.

Igini blamed the collapse of values in society for being responsible for underage registration, berating parents who allowed their underaged children to register as voters.

The PRV was released recently for citizens to look at, seek clarifications and make complaints to the commission where necessary.

Faces of alleged underage voters have been spotted in many states, especially in the North with Kano State said to have recorded over 2.72 million underage voters.

But speaking on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Friday, Uzi-Osaze said the 2.72 was not for Kano alone but nationwide

He explained further: “It’s either the electoral Commissioner was misquoted or he got it wrong. Somebody got it wrong.

“The total number of ineligible voters as released by INEC is 2.72 million people not just in Kano State but nationwide.

“The total number of people who turn out for CVR in Kano was five hundred and sixty something thousand and less than a hundred thousand …were actually held to be ineligible.

“It was not 2.73m in Kanu that were held ineligible, that figure is quite wrong. They’re not fake registrants but ineligible.

“Ineligible in the sense that were not supposed to have gone for CVR. Possibly they have registered before and are now going for double registration and multiple registration either deliberately or inadvertently. Inadvertently in the sense that they were required to do transfer but rather than do a transfer some people just went and registered afresh.

“And INEC now found out that these people were previously on the register so they knocked them out. They removed them. And some others registered more than once in the same CVR exercise either they deliberately changed clothes or changed names and those ones were also discovered and left out .

“Those that did not pass what INRC call their business rule for example if they were currently underage, were removed but having said that there are others who were not cut. The 2.7 is nationwide and it’s for those who were unable to register under CVR.”

Do you have any proof that INEC has registered cows?

i can't really comprehend why a young person that has been in Nigeria for the past 7yrs, having friends or relatives who have been at home for 8 months because of ASUU strike, seen 1$=N800+
And your option is APC?
You're not just wicked, you're an agent of the devil.

Say one thing today,refute it and say another tomorrow.

Na them go still carry plate dey beg for money after voting rubbish

Well, the South wins elections when they follow Obasanjo formula. Southern votes plus middle belt votes plus 25% of far north votes means victory.

North wins elections not because underaged , but because the South is disunited, and has no agenda.

Yeah, because in Nigeria, we like doing the wrong things.

Northern elites are the most wicked set of human being in Nigeria, using poverty and religion to hold their people captive.

Use religion to coerce people to marry as much as possible so as to give birth to as many as possible because allah mandates such and when the kids starts to come in their dozens without adequate preparation made for their welfare, then we all can be sure that life is already scoring them 1-0

Just look at the faces of those kids on the inec portal and tell me if you don't feel sorry for them, see and unkempt and dirty they are looking, yet one politician somewhere up north is collecting UN UNICEF fund on their behalf and stuffing it in his babaringa.

North has the highest out of school children in Nigeria but one man is collecting education development allocation on their behalf and overlooking those that the money was meant to help.

But in all these, the leaders will not fail to use these same kids as a means to stay in power

Q

Obi is not tear rubber...we have candidates in PRP and ADC that are actually tear rubber.

Obi was in PDP with Atiku, and Atiku was in APC with Tinubu.

The day you guys realize that voting for Obi means a vote for PDP and APC having more years in office...

Heheheheheeeehe

Teoo

It is for such illegalities that Muslim
northern Nigeria breed the millions
of almajiris scattered all the north.


They use them as a ready source of
miscreants to cause mayhem or as a mass source of ignorant, dregs of society to bulk
up votes at polls. In the process, they
even bring almajiris from Niger Republic
Mali, and Chad.


These aliens are used and abandoned
after elections and now become a
ready source of converts to Boko haram
or bandits. It's this type of senseless
behavior by northern politicians that has
created the terrible, unsolvable security
situation that has become part & parcel
of northern Nigeria.☹️☹️☹️


As the problem overwhelms the north,
the almajiris are gradually being exported
into southern Nigeria to go and destabilize
the progressive atmosphere and cause
mayhem. These almajiri have no
trade or survival skill and have only
been brainwashed with the intolerance
of their religious teachings.

Now three

Lies abound everywhere! Look before you leap!

See the high rate of crime, high rate of prostitution among your daughters and sisters. But you still choose to support APC, what exactly has that party done to move the nation forward.

Imagine this kind talk

all I know is that Peter Obi will shock pdapc..he will have not less than 50% of Lagos votes. listened to one Yoruba radio 100.9fm last saturday. they asked who the callers would likely vote for. Was really surprised to see these alhajis from Ikorodu, Sango, agege, that would have chosen tinubu being a muslim yoruba and even 90% of d callers, pick Peter Obi.

this suffering has touched everyone o.
ss obi
se obi
sw 30% obi

You mean INEC didn't see those pictures after printing them? They're now telling us to report any underage registration where as they were the ones that printed and distributed those voter's card
INEC has compromised.

Na for ur family high rate of crime and prostitution dey! Don't generalise
