•INEC rules out postponement, says no going back on poll timetable

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Wednesday released the final list of voters that will cast their ballots in the elections, with the North-West and South-West having the lion’s share of the 93.4 million eligible voters.

Presenting the voter register at a meeting with leaders of political parties at the INEC headquarters, Abuja, the commission’s Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, said the number of registered youths was 37,060,399.

In November 2022, the commission published the preliminary register of voters across the 774 local government areas on its website to enable eligible voters to confirm their details, as well as for Nigerians to report ineligible persons captured in the register.

Yakubu said the commission received more than 53,000 objections to the register, after which the ineligible voters were removed.

He stated, “After the cleaning-up of the data from the last continuous voter registration exercise, 9,518,188 new voters were added to the previous register, resulting in the preliminary register of 93,522,272, which was presented to Nigerians for claims and objections as required by law.

“At the end of the period for claims and objections by citizens, the commission received 53,264 objections from Nigerians to the prevalence of ineligible persons on the register by age, citizenship, or death. These names have been verified and removed from the register.”

According to the figures released by the commission, the North-West geopolitical zone has the highest number of registered voters with 22,255,562.

As of the 2019 elections, the North-West had 20.15m voters. However, the latest report released by INEC showed that over 2m new voters registered during the recently concluded continuous voter registration.

The South-West, which in 2019 had 16,292,212 registered voters, now has 17,958,966, having added 1,666,754 new registered voters.

The North-Central, which had 13,366,070 registered voters in 2019, now has 15,363,731.

The electoral body figures also show that the South-South has 14,440,714 registered voters. The region boasted 12,841,279 registered voters in 2019.

On the other hand, the North-East currently has 12,542,429 up from 11,289, 293 voters it had in 2019 while the South-East has 10,907,606 up from 10,057,130 registered voters it had in 2019.

By gender, men surprisingly dominate the voter register at 49,054,162 (52.5 per cent) while the figure of female voters stands at 44,414,846 (47.5 per cent).

Is a lie SE populate the lagos, Ogun, oyo, Kaduna, Kano, katsina, Borno, Yobe and Kogi even in Kwara if you breakdown all the registered voters by state of origin you will find that 90% of registered voters even in Nassarawa are Igbos. This is why obi is going to win this election. Igbos have strategically bought all the land in the world and resettle their people over the years. That's why there's not much people in the SE ask PrinceofLagos, gidgiddy, mrvitalis.
Even in SA to win an election you must first go to the igbo community to campaign. When we talk about population give it to the igbo people. China is behind us.

This election will produce the biggest shock ever in Nigerian history

Bvas will shock many of you next month...let's see how your underage voters gonna vote.


Remove lagos and the South east has more homogeneous voters than southwest and Northeast.

Anambra and imo state alone voted more than kano and katsina state combined in 2015...more than oyo,ondo,osun and ekiti combined in the same year.

Obidients will push through and usher in the new Nigeria.
From the list, the odd favors Obi.

Even without lagos SE number of voters is not more than SW..........interesting

Kano has more voters than Lagos in practice. Lagos always has a poor turn out for elections.

Even with that, the Mafia seeking office has suppressed and will suppress voters such that the numbers will be lower. Ideally, Lagos should be deciding who will be president of the country.

12 million registered voters can be done easily. That's the same number that allegedly voted Buhari in 2019.


The South in general should be deliberate about registering to vote and turning out. You have more numbers than shown. See the result of leaving politics to majority miscreants, gullibles and terrorist sympathizers today. It's time we take back the country from the unqualified.

OP, show us the full chart and not this nonsense

Ok don't worry, let me help you

Now did you see the original chart and why Tinubu should be worried

Peter Obi stands a far more better chance than Tinubu in this election

Politics is a very interesting thing

Lagos has more than 7 Million eligible voters but the question is how many people have collected or has the voters card.
The Inec Officials keep frustrating people's effort here in Lagos.
We shouldn't bribe them before they do the needful

"The race is not to the SWIFT or the battle to the Mighty. But, time and chance happen to them all."Ecclesiastics 9:11.

Peter Obi stands out in vigor, brilliance, sincerity of purpose and political will for diligent implementation of the solutions.

GET YOUR PVC NOW!!!

PrinceOfLagos:

Peter Obi stands a far more better than in this election

Heeeyaaahh!
Your voice is sounding so weak these passing days.
Don't forget to use baba blue or blu bla bla blue or how u and ur friends dey call am.
It is good for clearing throat.
Ndo.
God bless you.
God bless Nigeria.

Where is the picture of that your 6 PVC by the way?
The one you've been disturbing people with sonce last week? You know use am today?

silibaba:
Lagos in Obi's pocket.

At the bolded

Like someone beautifully observed, the South allow the north to have an upper hand in elections due to the usual voter apathy in the South. Let's change the narrative this year!

Omo northwest na big fish

Northerners can't wait to vote in Obi. He shall win Insha Allah.

E Go choke you

They will cry RIGGING later.

When one man from Finland sends an email and people hide under their beds.... continents away.

I doubt if up to 2 million will vote out of the 10 million ascribed to the East.

F

Well, per state, SW seem to be at a disadvantage if you remove a cosmopolitan Lagos.
SE actually recorded same figures as other 5 southwest states.

The figure seems to Favour Peter Obi more than any other candidate based on his support base in SE and SS and the amount of votes in can get in SW and NC.
