The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has created an additional 54, 873 polling units, thus bringing the total number of polling units in the country to 176,846.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who announced this at a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) in Abuja on Wednesday, said this was coming 25 years after the last polling units were created by the military.

Prof. Yakubu explained that the new polling units were created by converting existing voting points and voting points settlements, to full pledged polling units.
He also announced the abolition of voting points in the country.

Nigeria had a total of 119, 973 polling units before the new creations.

Until we truly digitized polling system, we will continue to have living dead as leaders.

All a mofo needs is some herds of illiterates with N200 in their hands or a propaganda in their heart.

Rigging has begun

They have created polling units in deep forests across the countries where Fulani herdsmen and foreign Fulani bandits have their camps.

Gerrymandering!
Were the political parties adequately and extensively consulted?
This is how election rigging is perfected!
The first step towards elections rigging is gerrymandering...
This very INEC boss is one smart crook! Maybe the smartest crook in this country...
Always using his quiet mien to wriggle out of all sorts of political holes he dug for the country..
