The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Tuesday said that it Nigeria has 68,833,476 registered voters.

The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, announced this at a news conference and presentation of voter registers to leadership of political parties.

Jega said the commission arrived at the figure after removing over four million voters that engaged in duplicate registration from the 73.5 million registrants nationwide.

He said that the removal was done through the commission’s AFIX and Business Rules for the printing of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

AFIX is software that allows the commission to indentify and exclude any double registration from it data base.

He said the figure would be made available to the public on the commission’s website in the next couple of days.

Jega added that the commission was ready to provide evidence to any political parties in doubt about the figure and the process used in the computation of the register.

He also said 14 candidates were duly nominated by political parties for presidential election holding on February 14.

For senatorial elections, there are 739 candidates; and for the House of Representatives elections, there are 1,780 candidates.’’

The chairman also disclosed that the commission had received all funds required to conduct the general elections from government.

He said the commission had taken delivery of additional PVCs from the contractor, ``and we are positive that the commission will have outstanding cards with us latest Jan. 28.’’

Jega said INEC would use card readers for the 2015 elections as it had commenced the deployment of the received readers to states.

''The commission has received more than 132,000 units of these card readers.’’

He added that INEC was preparing to hold elections in all states of the federation including the three North East states experiencing insurgency.

He said the commission was yet to receive any formal notification from the House of Representatives directing it to allow people with Temporary Voter Cards for the 2015 general elections.

''We will do everything possible to ensure that PVC is used for the elections because of the technology involved as PVC will help to eliminate fraudulent voting.’’

The Chairman, however, advised Nigerians against wrong handling of PVC to avoid any damage to the data on the chip.

Jega said that the commission would be responsible for the cost of production of the first PVC, but in the case of loss or damage, the owner of the card would incur the cost of replacement.

He said that although the card was durable, it could be damaged if wrongly handled or exposed to unnecessary heat.

He explained that the card had 10 years life span and that the commission hoped to continue using it until the country was able to produce a national identification card that could replace the PVC

“I promise you if you vote for me and I come back and serve this country in the next four years, the next persons that will become the president of this country will not talk about corruption because we are working on technology and we will use technology to block all these areas through which people are corruptly enriching themselves. Today we are talking about IT. We are no longer in the analogue generation. So we want to deploy IT to solve problems and I tell you in the next five years nobody will harass the next president for not fighting corruption because I will solve the problem of corruption in this country. But let me assure Nigerians about my commitment and my method of solving the problem of corruption or fighting is not the number of people I tried and jailed.

In terms of people I tried and jailed, maybe I will give you the statistics on my subsequent outing because I have asked them to give me the comprehensive statistics. We have tried more Nigerians. More Nigerians have been jailed within this period, but we followed due process. But I used to tell people that even if I tried 10 million Nigerians and jailed five million Nigerians for corruption, I have not solved the corruption problem. For you to stop corruption, you must use modern technology to prevent people from stealing. And that is what we are working on. The oil industry is a good area. We are working very hard. I don’t just want to say certain things. All these people have so much money that they will do everything to stop us.”

“They said they are going to ban the office of the first lady, they are going to ban the office of the governors’ wives, they are going to ban the office of local government chairman, they are going to ban the Defence officers wives, army officers wives association, naval officers wives association, police officers wives association.
“But me, having served as deputy governor, governor, vice president and president, I can tell you that these offices are helping us to mobilize our women. And these offices are encouraged to set up NGOs. They money they spend does not come from government budget. They run NGOs. Nigeria had a lot of philanthropists. They want spend money and they use some of these channels to empower our women. You don’t have to turn them to baby factory alone. I promise the Nigeria that if we open international magazines parading women I want to see Nigerian women in those magazines. The Nigerian women on their own have struggled to reach the highest positions in their country. I am making deliberate effort to try to put you on the international limelight. That is what I am doing. I don’t believe that you are designed to pound yam for me.
“I don’t think your duty is merely to procreate. But you cannot be a baby factory manufacturing children and doing nothing because my conviction is that as a biologist, the brain God gave men and women equally. Physically men are more endowed but both men and women and equally endowed in brain.

.....he also said he will minimize terrorism if re-elected. And as he is minimizing terrorism with his mouth, countless Nigerians are being killed by terrorists, almost every single week of his presidency recorded one terrorist activity or the other, if it is not bombing, it will be abduction or jail break or bank robbery. And he is saying he will minimize terrorism. Too little, too late,



Mr. Jonathan. All your stories are for Orunmila the father of Agbonmiregun.


If u have high priority for women then bring back our girls.


Where dd u keep this your technology for d past 6yrs?



"For you to stop corruption, you must use modern technology to prevent people from stealing." And yet, stealing is not corruption. Why is Mr President being allowed to do this to himself?

God bless the INEC family, this is the best electoral body ever in nigeria.
