That means half of the population of Nigeria or 108 million are above 18 years and eligible to vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cINEC\u2019s current voters register estimates Nigeria\u2019s voting population at 84 million, so INEC is expected to capture at least 20 million additional Nigerian voters in this exercise, but the electoral body has completed barely 4 million applications as of March 2022 from information available on its website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that a whopping 16 million Nigerians are likely to be disenfranchised. This is not good for our democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn view of the present troubling circumstances, we recommend that INEC urgently embark on expansion of its voter registration and validation infrastructure to serve the teeming numbers of Nigerians who wish to exercise their patriotic and civic duties of voting in the forthcoming general elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has therefore become very obvious that no matter the number of years of extension of the current exercise, it will be a total waste of the nation\u2019s manpower if the infrastructure is not immediately expanded to cover areas of high demand \u2013 which currently is the south.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis makes sense because INEC\u2019s data shows that most citizens in the North have been captured. Many Nigerians from the Middle and southern parts of the country will at the end of the day be denied their universal adult suffrage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CPO chairman said his group is available to provide \u201cnon-interfering\u201d support to INEC to see that every citizen who presents himself or herself for registration is registered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group backing the former Anambra governor for president called the Coalition for Peter Obi (CPO) has stated that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should extend the deadline for voter registration.
